The impact of chemical reactions on magnetohydrodynamic free convective fluid flow adjacent to an infinitely long, vertically accelerated plate is a subject of significant interest. This study delves into the intricate interactions between fluid dynamics and magnetic fields, highlighting the complexities introduced by chemical processes. By examining the behaviour of the fluid under these conditions, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play, which is crucial for advancing theoretical models and practical applications in the field. The study looks into the mass and heat transfer of a viscous fluid across a vertical plate that is encased in a porous material that is fluid-saturated. It generates closed-form solutions to the momentum, energy, and concentration equations using the finite element method. The text provides tabular representations of numerical values of shear stress, heat transfer, and mass transfer at the plate, along with visual depictions of fluid velocity, temperature, and species concentration. In a few specific instances, the outcomes align favorably with the earlier discoveries. Major Findings: The study examines MHD free convection near a vertical plate, analysing heat/mass transfer in porous media. Finite element solutions yield velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. Results match prior work, emphasising chemical reactions' influence on flow and magnetic interactions.
