A numerical study of nanofluid flow and heat transfer of laminar mixed convection flow over a three-dimensional, horizontal microscale forward-facing step (MFFS) is reported. The effects of different step heights and the duct inclination angle on the heat transfer and fluid flow are discussed in thi...
