Unsteady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a continuously stretching surface in the presence of radiation is examined. By similarity transformation, governing partial differential equations are transformed to set ordinary equations. Numerical solutions obtained by employing Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method scheme with shooting technique Maple software environment. The effects unsteadiness parameter, magnetic parameter Prandtl number on characteristics discussed. It found that rate at increases as increase but decreases parameter. Keywords—Heat transfer, magnetohydrodynamics, radiation, unsteadiness.
