AB - An exact solution of unsteady flow past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate with variable temperature has been presented in the presence of uniform mass diffusion. The plate temperature is raised linearly with time and species concentration level near the plate is made to rise Cw. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using Laplace-transform technique. The velocity profiles fields are studied for different physical parameters like thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, a and time. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing values of a or t.
