The objective of this study is to investigated thermal diffusion and radiation effects on unsteady free convection chemically reacting fluid flow past an accelerated infinite inclined plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field when the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the fluid or to the plate studied in two cases, (i) when magnetic field fixed relative to the fluid (K=0), (ii) and the magnetic field fixed relative to the plate (K=1) have been considered. A general exact solution of the dimensionless governing partial differential equation is obtained by the usual Laplace transform technique without any restriction. The effect of flow parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, heat transfer and the rate of mass transfer are studied though graphs and tables.
