In this present paper, we investigate a two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation flow over shrinking sheet in the presence of thermal radiation. In this study, the effects of magnetic, heat generation or absorption, radiation and Prandtl number parameter are taken into consideration. An appropriate similarity transformation is introduced to transform the governing partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations then solved using bvp4c in MATLAB. The effects of the involved parameters such as magnetic field, velocity, heat generation/absorption, Prandtl number as well as local Nusselt number are calculated numerically. Result on skin friction and temperature increased as the magnetic field increased. While, the temperature decreased as the radiation parameter increased as well as the Prandtl number.
