Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar fluid by including the thermal radiation and convective condition on a shrinking surface in the presence of mass suction effects has been investigated. The momentum, angular momentum and energy equations, and the solutions of these equations are valid for whole Navier stokes, and microrotational and energy equations have been solved exactly. We obtain the solution in the form of an incomplete gamma function for the energy equation. The results reveal that dual solutions exist for certain domains of different physical parameters. Furthermore, high suction produces the high effect of drag force, and as a result, coefficient of skin friction increases in the first solution. Stability analysis has been performed and determined that the first solution is more stable.
