This investigation presents a mathematical model describing the momentum, heatand mass transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heatgenerating/absorbing fluid near a stagnation point of an isothermal two-dimensionalbody of an axisymmetric body. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presenceof a uniform magnetic field. The series solution is obtained for the resulting couplednonlinear differential equation. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is utilized inobtaining the solution. Numerical values of the skin friction coefficient and the wallheat transfer coefficient are also computed
