Linear stability of a steady non-isothermal Couette flow between two cylinders for the case where the inner cylinder is rotating with constant angular velocity ω while the outer cylinder is at rest is investigated. The base velocity vector has two components: the azimuthal component due to rotation and the vertical component due to internal heat sources distributed within the fluid in accordance with the Arrhenius law. The base flow velocity and temperature satisfy a nonlinear boundary value problem which is solved numerically. Linearized equations for the perturbed quantities are solved by means of the collocation method based on the Chebyshev polynomials. Numerical results show that the increase in ω destabilizes the flow. Thus, rotation can be considered as one of the factors that enhances instability.
