Abstract
Steady heat flux through a double diffusive layered convecting system demands each layer have the same Rayleigh number. If double diffusive convective layering occurs in a gaseous rotating proto-solar system nebula of uniform composition, this Rayleigh number criterion sets the distances from the centre of the nebula to each boundary layer of the convecting layers and these distances are given by the Titius-Bode law. In a layer of nebula convection, outgoing plumes will be retrograde, ingoing plumes prograde, such that where these plumes impinge on a boundary layer, vortices can be set up in the boundary layer with rotation along the same axis as the total cloud. Soret convection may serve to segregate the cloud isotopically, elementally and chemically.
