Abstract
We investigate the nonlinear coupled system of elliptic partial differential equations which describes the fluid motion and the energy transfer what we call the ( p - q) coupled fluid-energy system due to p and q coercivity parameters correlated to the motion and heat fluxes, respectively. Due to the simultaneous action of the convective-radiation effects on a part of the boundary, such system leads to a boundary value problem. We present existence results of weak solutions under different constitutive laws for the Cauchy stress tensor with p > 3n/(n + 2), in a n-dimensional space. If the Joule effect is neglected in the energy equation, the existence result is stated for a broader class of fluids such that p > 2n/(n + 1), and related q-coercivity parameter to the heat flux.
