Abstract: The convective instability of a flat layer of a nonequilibrium gas is investigated under different conditions of energy pumping. The conditions under which convective, thermal, and acoustic instabilities arise are compared, and the regions of thermodynamic parameters at which a specific type of instability is dominant are determined. The effect of boundary conditions and of vibrational thermal conductivity (diffusion of vibrational quanta) on the convective instability of a system in the region of thermal explosion is revealed.
