AB - Some analyses have been carried out to study the influence of  suction/blowing, thermal radiation and temperature dependent fluid properties  on the hydro-magnetic incompressible electrically conducting fluid flow and  heat transfer over a permeable stretching surface with partial slip boundary  conditions. It is assumed that the fluid viscosity and the thermal  conductivity vary as an inverse function and linear function of temperature  respectively. Using the similarity transformation, the governing system of  non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into non-linear  ordinary differential equations and are solved numerically using symbolic  software MATHEMATICA 7.0. The effects of various physical parameters on the  flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as the skin friction  coefficient and Nusselt number are illustrated graphically. The physical  aspects of the problem are highlighted and discussed.
