Abstract
An exact solution to the flow due to impulsive motion of an infinite vertical plate in its own plane in the presence of i) species concentration ii) constant heat flux at the plate iii) chemical reaction of first order, has been derived by the Laplace-transform technique. Velocity and concentration profiles are shown on graphs. It is observed that due to the presence of first order chemical reaction, the velocity decreases but the skin-friction being positive at large values of the chemical reaction parameter, there may not occur separation of the flow near the plate.
