We investigate blow-up phenomena for positive solutions of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations including a nonlinear convection term ∂t u = Δu - g(u) ⋅ ∇ u + f(u) in a bounded domain of ℝN under the dissipative dynamical boundary conditions σ∂t u + ∂νu =0. Some conditions on g and f are discussed to state if the positive solutions blow up in finite time or not. Moreover, for certain classes of nonlinearities, an upper-bound for the blow-up time can be derived and the blow-up rate can be determinated.
