This paper presents a one dimensional unsteady natural convection flow past a moving vertical cylinder subjected to constant mass flux along with chemical reaction. The closed form solutions of the non-dimensional governing boundary layer equations are obtained in  terms of Bessel functions and modified Bessel functions and these dimensionless equations are solved by Laplace transform technique.
