ABSTRACT = {We report on a mathematical model for analyzing the effects of homogeneous-heterogeneous chemical reaction and slip velocity on the MHD 
stagnation point flow of electrically conducting micropolar fluid over a stretching/shrinking surface embedded in a porous medium. The governing 
boundary layer coupled partial differential equations are transformed into a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations, which are solved 
numerically using the MATLAB bvp4c solver. The effects of physical and fluid parameters such as the stretching parameter, micropolar parameter, 
permeability parameter, strength of homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction parameter on the velocity and concentration are analyzed, and these 
results are presented through graphs. The solute concentration at the surface is found to decrease with the strength of the homogeneous reaction, and 
to increase with heterogeneous reactions, the permeability parameter and stretching or shrinking parameters. Comparison between the previously 
published results and the present numerical results for various special cases has been done and are found to be an excellent agreement.},
