The steady two-dimensional, laminar flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a stagnation point with heat transfer over a permeable surface in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is considered. Taking suitable similarity variables, the governing boundary layer equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations and solved numerically by Shooting method. The effects of the suction parameter, the magnetic parameter, the Prandtl number and the Eckert number are studied on the velocity and temperature distributions.
