The problem of triple diffusive surface tension driven convection is investigated in a composite layer in the presence of vertical magnetic field. A closed form solution is obtained under microgravity condition. The parameters suitable for fluid layer dominant and porous layer dominant composite layers are determined. The parameters appropriate for controlling the convection are determined which are useful to manufacture pure crystals.
