Abstract
The onset of thermal convection in an electrically conducting fluid saturating a porous medium, uniformly heated from below, salted by one chemical and embedded in an external transverse magnetic field is analyzed. The critical Rayleigh thermal numbers at which steady and Hopf convection can occur, are determined. Sufficient conditions guaranteeing the effective onset of convection via steady or oscillatory state are provided.
