We study the thermal insulation of a bounded body Ω G -n, under a prescribed heat source f > 0, via a bulk layer of insulating material. We consider a model of heat transfer between the insulated body and the environment determined by convection: this corresponds to Robin boundary conditions on the free boundary of the layer. We show that a minimal configuration exists and that it satisfies uniform density estimates.

Abstract

We study the thermal insulation of a bounded body Ω G -n, under a prescribed heat source f > 0, via a bulk layer of insulating material. We consider a model of heat transfer between the insulated body and the environment determined by convection: this corresponds to Robin boundary conditions on the free boundary of the layer. We show that a minimal configuration exists and that it satisfies uniform density estimates.
