The onset of convection induced by transient heat conduction in deep fluid is examined for two boundary conditions, namely: fixed surface temperature (FST) and linear rate of change of surface temperature with respect to time (LTR). Transient Rayleigh numbers (Ra) for these boundary conditions are d...
