Abstract: In this paper we show that the calculation of the Rayleigh peak form for a fluid driven onto a stationary state by an external temperature gradient is independent of the thermodynamic representation used only if linear terms in the gradient are kept. However, if a result to second order is required then only one representation seems to be adequate for obtaining it. The underlying reasons for such non-equivalence of different representations are discussed.
