Chemical reaction on moving infinite vertical plate with variable temperature

An exact solution to the problem of flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate in the presence of variable temperature and mass diffusion is presented here, taking into account the homogeneous chemical reaction of first-order. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Laplace-transform technique and the solutions are valid only at a lower time level. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown in graphs. It is observed that due to the presence of a first order chemical reaction, the velocity as well as concentration decreases with of the increasing of the chemical reaction parameter.
