  In this article we extend the currently established diffusion theory of
spin-dependent electrical conduction by including spin-dependent
thermoelectricity and thermal transport. Using this theory, we propose new
experiments aimed at demonstrating novel effects such as the spin-Peltier
effect, the reciprocal of the recently demonstrated thermally driven spin
injection, as well as the magnetic heat valve. We use finite-element methods to
model specific devices in literature to demonstrate our theory. Spin-orbit
effects such as anomalous-Hall, -Nernst, anisotropic magnetoresistance and
spin-Hall are also included in this model.
