A theoretical solution of an unsteady flow past a uniformly accelerated infinite isothermal vertical plate with variable mass diffusion is presented here, taking into account the homogeneous chemical reaction of first order. The plate temperature is raised to [...] and species concentration level near the plate is made to increase linearly with time. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform technique. The velocity, temperature and concentration fields are studied for different physical parameters such as the thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, chemical reaction parameter and time. It is observed that velocity increases with increasing values of the thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number. It is also observed that velocity increases with decreasing the chemical reaction parameter.
