Question: ( 2 ) ( Determinant and Neutral Stability Curve ) : Determine the relationship between the parameters k , L e , R a t

(2)(Determinant and Neutral Stability Curve): Determine the relationship between the
parameters k,Le,Rat and Rac for which the following set of equations has nontrivial solution
c1-(2+k2)c2=0
Lec1-(2+k2)c3=0
-(2+k2)c1+Ratk2c2+Rack2c3=0
[Remark: This relation is called the neutral stability curve and defines the onset of convection
in a fluid layer heated from below. Here, k is the wave number, Le is the Lewis number and
Rat,Rac are the thermal and concentration Rayleigh numbers, respectively.]
