The solutal analog of the Rayleigh-Benard convection in a reactive micropolar fluid is studied numerically using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The solute concentration is assumed to disappear at a rate which is linearly proportional to the concentration. It is observed that the critical solutal Rayleigh number for this fluid system with homogeneous kinetics is greater than that of a non-reactive fluid system. The results have possible industrial applications.
