AB  - The steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a nanofluid at the forward 
stagnation point of an infinite permeable wall is investigated in this 
study. A mathematical model has been constructed and the governing 
partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential 
equations by similarity transformation. The similarity equations are 
solved numerically by a shooting technique. Results for the surface 
shear stresses, surface heat transfer, and velocity, nanoparticle 
fraction and temperature profiles are presented in tables and in some 
graphs. Effects of the magnetic parameter  , constant mass flux   Biot 
number  , Brownion  motion parameter  thermophoresis parameter   and 
Lewis number   are examined. The present results are compared with 
previously available numerical results obtained using other methods of 
solution, and they are found to be in good agreement.
