Weak sequential stability of solutions to a nonisothermal kinetic model for incompressible dilute polymeric fluids

The paper is concerned with the mathematical analysis of a class of thermodynamically consistent kinetic models for nonisothermal flows of dilute polymeric fluids, based on the identification of energy storage mechanisms and entropy production mechanisms in the fluid under consideration. The model involves a system of nonlinear partial differential equations coupling the unsteady incompressible temperature-dependent Navier–Stokes equations to a temperature-dependent generalization of the classic
