Abstract :Approximate numerical evaluations of the Rayleigh number are obtained for a stability problem of thermal convection in a heat-conducting micropolar fluid layer between two rigid boundaries [7]. The influences of all the physical parameters on the values of the Rayleigh number are studied. Also, approximate neutral curves and neutral surfaces are represented in various parameters spaces.
