AB  - The present study considers the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow with chemical reaction effect over a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet. The partial differential equations are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation. The transformed equations are then solved numerically by employing the bvp4c function available in the MATLAB software. The numerical results illustrate the effects of several parameters on the skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number. Dual solutions are obtained for a certain range of parameters. The temporal stability analysis is carried out to determine which one of these solutions is stable and thus physically reliable in a long run.
