A numerical analysis is carried out to examine the combined heat and mass transfer along with chemical reaction characteristics in a free convective flow over a moving semi-infinite vertical cylinder. The governing equations are solved using an implicit finite difference scheme of Crank-Nicolson type. The effects of the chemical reaction in transient velocity, temperature, concentration, local and average skin-friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number profiles are illustrated and discussed for various physical parametric values. It is observed that with an increase in the chemical reaction parameter K or the Schmidt number Sc, velocity decreases, but velocity increases with an increasing thermal Grashof number Gr or mass Grashof number Gc. The surface mass transfer strongly depends on the Schmidt number and the chemical reaction and it decreases with their increasing values.
