The problem of MHD flow and heat transfer in a Newtonian viscous incompressible fluid over a stretching sheet with temperature gradient dependent heat sink/source and radiation is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation technique . The effects of viscous dissipation, work due to deformation, thermal radiation are considered in the energy equation and the variations of dimensionless surface

... ure as well as the heat transfer characteristics with various values of non-dimensional parameters like Prandtl number, suction parameter , radiation parameter, temperature gradient dependent heat sink parameter are graphed and tabulated. The heating process of the type i ) the sheet with prescribed surface temperature (PST case) is studied.
