In the present paper on steady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a heated stretching sheet with thermal radiation is studied. Magnetic field is applied normal to the flow. With suitable similarity transformations, the momentum and energy equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations. The governing differential equations with corresponding boundary conditions are solved numerically using MATLAB inbuilt solver bvp4c,. Graphical results for velocity and temperature fields, tabular values of Skin-friction and Nusselt numbers are presented and discussed. It is found the temperature of the fluid increases for the increasing values of radiation parameter.
