Abstract

The main focus of this article is to investigate the exact solution for MHD flow of Maxwell fluid over an infinite vertical plate with ramped temperature and constant concentration. Plate is moving along a straight line with arbitrary velocity which depends on time. Laplace transform and convolution theorem are used to acquire solutions for temperature, concentration and velocity. Moreover, results already present in literature are acquired as limiting case from these general results.
