A mathematical model is presented to study the effect of chemical reaction on unsteady natural convection boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite vertical cylinder.

The governing equations are solved by an implicit finite difference scheme of Crank-Nicolson method. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as for the skin-friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained and reported graphically for various parametric conditions to show interesting aspects of the solution.
