In the present paper we have studied the effects of magnetic field, thermal diffusion, thermal radiation and chemical reaction on velocity, temperature and concentration fields about an axially moving isothermal semi infinite solid vertical cylinder in two dimensional incompressible viscous binary fluid mixtures. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into non similar boundary layer equations and are solved by using a regular perturbation method together with Matlab's built in solver bvp4c. Numerical solutions for axial velocity component, temperature and concentration of the rarer and lighter component of the binary fluid mixture are obtained on the basis of boundary layer approximation and presented graphically for axial curvature parameter, magnetic field parameter, thermal diffusion parameter, radiation parameter and chemical reaction parameter. It has been found that these parameters affect considerably the flow characteristics. The problem under consideration reduces to the flat plate case when the curvature parameter is absent.
