The effect of time-periodic temperature modulation on thermal instability in a temperature dependent viscous fluid layer has been investigated by performing a weakly nonlinear stability analysis. The amplitude of temperature modulation is considered to be very small, and the disturbances are expanded in terms of power series of amplitude of convection. The Ginzburg–Landau equation for the stationary mode of convection is obtained and consequently the effect of temperature modulation on heat transport has been investigated. Effect of various parameters has been explained graphically. It has been found that, an increment in the values of thermo-rheological parameter and Prandtl number is to enhance the heat transport in the system. Further, temperature modulation can be used to control the heat transport effectively as external mechanism to the system.
