An exact solution to the problem of flow due to the impulsive motion of an infinite vertical plate in its own plane in the presence of i) species concentration, ii) Newtonian heating at the plate, and iii) first-order chemical reaction has been derived by the Laplace transform technique. The influence of various parameters entering into the problem on the velocity field and skin friction for both air and water in the cases of both cooling and heating of the plate is discussed.
