Abstract: The paper presents a study of a forced flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting Newtonian fluid in the presence of a magnetic field due to an exponentially stretching sheet. Thermal radiation term is incorporated in the temperature equation. The governing coupled, non-linear, partial differential equations are converted into coupled, non-linear, ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation and are solved numerically using shooting method. The influence of various parameters such as the Prandtl number, Chandrasekhar number, variable viscosity parameter, heat source (sink) parameter, radiation parameter and suction/injection on velocity and temperature profiles are presented and discussed
