The problem of unsteady natural convective nanofluid flow along with an exponentially accelerating vertical plate under the influence of transverse magnetic field is discussed in two important cases when the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the fluid or the moving plate. The governing equations are transformed into dimensionless form and tackled with the usual time-frequency Laplace transform technique. The impacts of various parameters on the heat transfer characteristics and nanofluid flow transport with thermal radiation, heat generation/absorption, and nanoparticle volume concentration have been studied through graphs.
