The characteristic of flow and heat transfer of a three-dimensional unsteady, incompressible, electrically-conducting fluid in the vicinity of a stagnation point is the main scope of the thesis. The surface temperature at the wall is specified as a power law form of distance in the x and y directions and of time also. The governing partial differential equations obtained from continuity, momentum and energy equations are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of a similarity transformation. Exact solutions are obtained using numerical computations. The results are drawn graphically and intepreted physically. The influence of magnetic parameter, unsteady parameter, velocity ratio, suction or blowing and indices r, s, m on the thermal characteristic are examined in detail. When fw, Pr, c, M, r, s and m increase, both the temperature profiles and surface temperature gradients decrease, implying the corresponding enhancement of heat transfer rate. However the crossover phenomenon occurs for increasing values of unsteady parameter.
