An exact solution of unsteady flow past a parabolic starting motion of the infinite isothermal vertical plate with read more uniform mass diffusion, in the presence of a homogeneous chemical reaction of the first order, has been studied.The plate temperature and the concentration level near the plate are raised uniformly.The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace transform technique.

The effect of velocity profiles are studied for different physical parameters, such as chemical reaction parameter, thermal Grashof here number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, and time.It is observed that velocity increases with increasing values of thermal Grashof number or mass Grashof number.The trend is reversed with respect to the chemical reaction parameter.
