Experimental and numerical studies were presented to reveal the flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid laminar flow over the microscale backward-facing step (MBFS). The duct inlet and the step height were 400 μm and 600 μm respectively. All the walls considered adiabatic except the down...
