Micropolar fluid behavior on MHD free convection and mass transfer with constant heat and mass fluxes is studied numerically. Finite difference technique is used as the main tool for the numerical approach. Micropolar fluid behavior on MHD steady free convection and mass transfer with constant heat and mass fluxes have been considered and its similarities solution have been obtained. Similarity equations of the corresponding momentum, angular momentum, temperature and concentration equations are derived by employing the usual similarity technique. The dimensionless similarity equations for momentum, angular momentum, temperature and concentration equations solved numerically by explicit finite difference technique. With the help of graphs the effects of the various important parameters entering into each of the problems on the velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer are separately discussed.
