Two different types of nanofluids, copper-water and alumina-water, are considered. Dual solutions are obtained for negative pressure gradient. The physical aspects of nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are highlighted and discussed. It is observed that inclusion of nanoparticles and temperature-dependent viscosity delay the flow separation. %8 2018-07-05
