Magnetohydrodynamic stagnation-point flow towards a stretching sheet

Steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscous e lectrically conducting fluid over a flat deformable sheet is investigated w hen the sheet is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation-point. It is shown that the velocity at a point decreases/increases with increase in the magnetic Field when the fre e stream velocity is less/greater than the stretching velocity. Temperature distribution in the flow is obtained when the surface is held at a constan t temperature.
