Abstract
The problem of the convective instability of a plane fluid layer bounded by rigid walls with heating in a narrow layer running parallel to the walls inside the volume in question is solved. Instability criteria depending on the location of the heated layer and the Rayleigh numbers of the upper and lower layers are found. The results are compared with those for a plane layer with uniform energy release inside the volume.
