Hall effect on thermosolutal convection of ferromagnetic fluids in porous medium

The present study deals with effect of Hall currents on thermal convection of ferromagnetic fluids in porous medium. The combined effect of solute gradient, medium permeability, magnetic field and Hall currents on the thermal stability has been investigated. It is found that Hall currents destabilize the system. The magnetic field and solute gradient have stabilizing effect on the convection. The medium permeability has conditional effect on the stability. The principle of exchange of stabilities (PES) is not satisfied under these conditions. In the absence of magnetic field and solute gradient, PES is valid.
