The present paper is on study of the influence of thermal radiation effects on parabolic flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and uniform mass diffusion in the presence of transverse applied magnetic field in the presence of homogeneous chemical reaction is studied. Using the appropriate variables, the basic governing equations are reduced to non-dimensional equations valid with the imposed initial and boundary conditions. The exact solutions are obtained by using Laplace transform technique. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied normal to the direction to the flow. The numerical computations are carried out for various values of the physical parameters such as velocity, temperature, skin friction, Sherwood number and Nusselt number and presented graphically.

Abstract
The present paper is on study of the influence of thermal radiation effects on parabolic flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate with variable temperature and uniform mass diffusion in the presence of transverse applied magnetic field in the presence of homogeneous chemical reaction is studied. Using the appropriate variables, the basic governing equations are reduced to non-dimensional equations valid with the imposed initial and boundary conditions. The exact solutions are obtained by using Laplace transform technique. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied normal to the direction to the flow. The numerical computations are carried out for various values of the physical parameters such as velocity, temperature, skin friction, Sherwood number and Nusselt number and presented graphically.
