    Abstract The present paper deals with a linear stability analysis of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a rotating Newtonian fluid with heat source/sink confined between two parallel, infinitely extended horizontal surfaces. It is proved that internal Rayleigh number; Thermo rheological parameter and the Taylor number influence the onset of convection. It is found that the effect of increasing the strength of rotation is to stabilize the system whereas the increase of internal heat source and variable viscosity parameter is to destabilize the system. The result has possible applications in the astrophysical and geophysical context.

    Keywords Rayleigh-Benard convection; Taylor number; variable heat source; temperature-dependent viscosity.

    1. INTRODUCTION

      The Rayleigh-Benard instability problem with internal heat generation, thermo rheological effect and rotation have been received great attention due to their implications in heat and mass transfer. The rotation is one of the important external mechanisms in controlling the onset of convection. The effect of non-inertial acceleration on the stability analysis of buoyancy driven convection is discussed in several books and monographs such as Chandrasekhar [1961], Platten and Legros [1984] and Drazin and Reid [2004].

      Thermal convection occurs when a fluid is heated from below. Rayleigh-Bénard convection as it is called is discussed in two excellent books Chandrasekhar [1] and Drazin and Reid [2]. Over several decades, many researchers are trying to control the convective phenomena in Rayleigh-Bénard convection by imposing external constraints such as temperature, Magnetic field, rotation etc. Rotation plays a very important role in controlling the convection. Motivated by the experiments of Donnelly [3] on the effect of rotation on the onset of instability in a fluid flow between two concentric cylinders, Venezian [4] performed a linear analysis under temperature modulation with free-free surfaces. He obtained an expression for critical Rayleigh number and found that by suitably tuning the frequency of rotation one can regulate the heat transport effectively. Later on, RayleighBénard problem under many constraints were studied by various researchers, considering different physical models. Kloosterziel and Carnevale [5] investigated the effect of rotation on the stability of a thermally modulated system, and determined analytically the critical points on the marginal stability boundary above which an increment either in viscosity or in diffusivity is

      destabilizing the system. Finally, they showed that when the fluid has zero viscosity the system is always unstable, in contradiction to Chandrasekhars [1] conclusion. Siddheshwar and Vanishree [7] studied the effect of rotation on thermal convection in an anisotropic porous medium with temperature dependent viscosity. The Galerkin variant of the weighted residual technique is used to obtain the Eigen value of the problem. They presented some new result on the parameters influence on convection in the presence of rotation, for both high and low rates. Bhadauria [8] investigated rotational influence on Darcy convection and found that both rotation and permeability suppress the onset of thermal instability. The effect of non-uniform temperature gradient on Rayleigh- Bénard convection in micro polar fluid has been studied by Siddheshwar and Pranesh [9]. The Eigen value is obtained for free-free, rigid-free and rigid-rigid boundary conditions on the spin vanishing boundaries. They presented some important results on the micro polar fluid parameters and the internal heat generation on the onset of convection. Bhadauria et al. [10] investigated the non-linear thermal instability in a rotating viscous fluid layer under temperature/gravity Modulation. They found that by suitably adjusting the frequency or amplitude of modulation one can control the convective flow. Recently Siddheshwar and Chan [11] investigated the thermo rheological effect on Benard and Marangoni convection in an anisotropic porous media. They showed that the effect of increasing thermo rheological parameter is to destabilize the system. A brief study of the combined effect of thermal modulation and rotation on the onset of convection in a rotating fluid layer was made by Rauscher and Kelly [12]. It is clear most of the available studies considered are not involving all the three effects such as internal heat generation, rotation and the temperature-sensitivity of the liquid on the onset of convection. However there are only few studies available, This paper deals with the study of convective non-linear Rayleigh- B\'{e}nard-Taylor instability problem in an electrically conducting temperature-sensitive Newtonian liquid with heat source; we use the truncated representation for half range Fourier cosine series expansion to represent the basic non- uniform temperature gradient and basic viscosity. The Galerkin procedure is utilized to discover the systematic articulation for the thermal Rayleigh number as the function of Internal heat source parameter, thermo rheological parameter and Taylor number.

    4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

      quantities 0 , 0 and 0 are respectively, amplitudes of the stream function, temperature, and the vorticity function. Substituting equation (17) into the linear version of equations

      of homogeneous equations in 0 , 0 and 0 is obtained. In obtaining the non-trivial solution of the linear system, the above expression of the critical Rayleigh number is obtained.
