ABSTRACT
A study of a suddenly accelerated plate with variable approximated electronegativity with MHD
fluid provoked by chemical reaction and radiation is made. The governing hydrodynamical equations
of the physical problem was formulated and its solution and analysis showed that increase in
electroconductivity, prandtl number, Reynold’s number, Grashof number, chemical reaction and
radiation all result to a corresponding increase in the velocity profile of the fluid while magnetic field
increase results to a decrease in the velocity profile of the fluid. The shear stress at the wall of the plate
was also determined.
