Abstract: This paper is devoted to the global existence of weak solutions to the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with heat-conducting effects in a bounded domain. The viscosity and the heat conductivity coefficients are assumed to be functions of the temperature, and the shear viscosity coefficient may vanish as the temperature goes to zero. The proof is to apply Galerkin method to a suitable approximate system with several parameters and obtain uniform estimates for the approximate solutions. The key ingredient in obtaining the required estimates is to apply De Giorgi's iteration to the modified temperature equation, from which we can get a lower bound for the temperature not depending on the artificial viscosity coefficient introduced in the modified momentum equation, which makes the compactness argument available as the artificial viscous term vanishes.
