AB  - The problem of the steady two dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible electrically
conducting nanofluid caused by a stretching/shrinking surface is studied. The effect of an induced magnetic
field is taken into account. The nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary
differential equations via. similarity transformations. The transformed governing equations are solved
numerically using the shooting method which built-in function in Maple Software. The effects of governing
parameters on the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local sherwood number and the
velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are also presented in this study. It is found that dual solutions
exist for the shrinking case. Therefore, a stability analysis is performed to verify which solution is stable and
it is found that the first solution is physically stable while the second solution is unstable.
