  The solution for the MHD flow, due to a linearly stretching sheet, has a
simple form for the velocity field, with a companion simple form for the
induced magnetic field. The associated thermal problem, including viscous
dissipation and Joule heating, involves three temperature constituents, the
solutions for two of which are obtained in terms of Kummer's function. The
solution for the third temperature constituent is obtained in a convergent
series form.
