This study investigates the stagnation point flow of a micropolar fluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet with second-order velocity slip. This study also considered the effects of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and MHD. The partial differential equations governing the flow were transformed into ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation method. The numerical solution was obtained using the shooting technique with the fourth-order Adams-Moulton method. The effects of various parameters such as the micropolar parameter, magnetic field, Prandtl number, aligned angle of the magnetic field, stretching/shrinking rate, first- and second-order slip, suction parameter, viscous dissipation, and thermal radiation on the velocity, microrotation, and temperature profiles were analyzed using tables and graphs. The results obtained using the shooting technique with the fourth-order Adams-Moulton method were compared with the previous results and found to be in excellent agreement.
