| Summary: | In this study, we analyze the effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on the steady 2 dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid over a stretching surface, with suction and heat generation. The partial differential equations governing the flow are solved numerically by using the shooting technique. The effects of various parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles, as well as Nusselt number, Skin friction coefficient, and Sherwood number, are examined, and presented graphically and through tables. It is found that velocity, temperature, and rate of heat transfer of the fluid are influenced more by radiation and chemical reaction parameters, along with applied magnetic field.
