AB - The transient flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting  microstretch fluid over an infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of  slanted hydromagnetic flow with an aligned angle of to and thermal radiation  effects has been analyzed. The governing equations are solved analytically  by using the technique of the state space approach and the inversion of the  Laplace transforms is carried out using a numerical approach for varies  physical parameters on the velocity, microrotation, microstretch and  temperature profiles are shown graphically. In order to verify the accuracy  of the present results, we have compared these results with the numerical  solution by using the Crank-Nicolson implicit finite difference method. It  is found that the thickness of thermal boundary layer increases with an  increase in the value of thermal radiation whereas antithesis trend is seen  with increasing the Prandtl number.
