Abstract
We consider steady compressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier system for a gas with pressure p and internal energy e related by the constitutive law p = ( γ − 1 ) ϱ e , γ > 1 . We show that for any γ > 3 2 there exists a variational entropy solution (i.e. solution satisfying the weak formulation of balance of mass and momentum, entropy inequality and global balance of total energy). This result includes the model for monoatomic gas ( γ = 5 3 ). If γ > 5 3 , these solutions also fulfill the weak formulation of the pointwise total energy balance.
