The intention of this case is to investigate the energy and mass transfer effects on viscous, incompressible, and transient motion past an inclined plate started with a parabolic motion under uniform heat flux in the existence of a homogeneous initial-order chemical response. An effort is made to explain the characteristics of the inclined angle of the plate and chemical process parameters on the hydrodynamic flow field. Several dimensionless parameters are employed to reduce into dimensionless boundary layer equations. The resulting partial differential equations are tackled analytically utilizing the Laplace transform approach, and the required expressions for warmth, concentration, and flow tempo are obtained. The consequences of warmth, concentration, and flow tempo are studied graphically for various flow parameters like Prandtl number, chemical reaction parameter, time ‘t’, thermal and mass Grashof number, angle of inclination, and Schmidt number. It is found that a rise in chemical reaction parameter or inclination angle causes the flow velocity to decrease rapidly whereas an increase in mass Grashof number or time causes flow velocity to increase.
