Out of a diode, resistor and capacitor,   what is the order of constitution and less thermal problems?

Nice word salad. From what I recall the flux capacitor has to be cooled with liquid nitrogen.  At absolute zero there are no losses. :-DD

I worked out that esr has larger resistance than r,  because e and s are large values?   :-//

All components heat up, even wire, who's current rating is determined by the acceptable temperature rise of the insulation and the conductor's resistance, therefore power dissipation.
