Abstract
Steady convection in a gaseous medium with intense heat generation is considered without making use of the Boussinesq approximation. The effect on convection of the thermal boundary conditions at the walls of the enclosure is investigated, together with the influence of a longitudinal magnetic field which is effective when the medium is strongly heated and becomes electrically conducting.
