Abstract:

The problem is solved using perturbation method by taking into account Hamilton and Crosser model. One of the boundary walls is oscillating in its own plane. Five different shapes (platelet, blade, cylinder, brick and spherical) of molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles are used inside water chosen as a conventional base fluid. A comparison of different shapes of molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles inside water based-nanoparticles is analyzed. Results obtained show that nanoparticles in platelet and cylinder shape has the highest thermal conductivity and viscosity compared to blade and spherical shapes molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles. Solutions for velocity and temperature are obtained and discussed graphically. Applications of molybdenum disulfide in water base fluids is discussed and derived mathematically. In cancer treatment the shape of nanoparticles is of great significance. Different shaped nanoparticles have different effect on cancer cells. For example, cylindrical shaped nanoparticles are seven times more deadly than traditional spherical nanoparticles when delivering drugs to breast cancer cells.
