Abstract An exact solution to the problem of a hydromagnetic natural convective mass transfer flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting non-Gray optically thin fluid past an impulsively started semi-infinite vertical plate with ramped wall temperature in presence of appreciable radiation, thermal diffusion and uniform transverse magnetic field is presented. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed to be small enough to neglect the induced hydromagnetic effects. Closed form Laplace Technique is adopted to get the exact solutions of the resultant non-dimensional governing equations. The influences of thermal radiation, ramped parameter, magnetic field, thermal diffusion and time on the flow and transport characteristics are studied graphically.
