Abstract
Natural convection has been thoroughly investigated due to its importance in many engineering applications. Furthermore, in the last years natural convection along isothermal and isoflux inclined plates has been analyzed because of its occurrence in several technical applications such as thermal control of electronic devices, solar collectors and so on. These situations of technical interest can involve thermal instabilities in plane air layers even at relatively low temperatures.
