The objective of this work is to study heat and mass transfer in an unsteady MHD free convective flow past an infinite vertical plate with constant suction (injection) and heat source numerically. Dimensionless governing equations of the problem have been solved by using the finite difference technique. Numerical solutions for temperature, velocity, concentration have been obtained for suitable parameters like the Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and Eckert number. The rates of heat transfer and mass transfer are studied. The results obtained are discussed with the help of graphs and tables to observe the effect of various parameters concerned in the problem under investigation. Effects of suction, the Eckert number and heat source parameter on velocity and temperature distributions are discussed. Stability and convergence of the finite difference scheme is established.
