In the present work, the first and second law analyses of a microplate heat exchanger with single-particle and hybrid nanofluids are conducted. The microplate heat exchanger with single-particle and hybrid nanofluids is analyzed using the computational fluid dynamics approach with symmetrical heat transfer and fluid flow analyses. The single-particle Al2O3 nanofluid and the hybrid Al2O3\/Cu nanofluid are investigated for different nanoparticles shapes of sphere (Sp), oblate spheroid (OS), prolate spheroid (PS), blade (BL), platelet (PL), cylinder (CY) and brick (BR). The first law characteristics of NTU, effectiveness and performance index and the second characteristics of thermal, friction and total entropy generation rates and Bejan number are compared for Al2O3 and Al2O3\/Cu nanofluids with considered different-shaped nanoparticles. The OS- and PL-shaped nanoparticles show superior and worse first and second law characteristics, respectively, for Al2O3 and Al2O3\/Cu nanofluids. The hybrid nanofluid presents better first and second law characteristics compared to single-particle nanofluid for all nanoparticle shapes. The Al2O3\/Cu nanofluid with OS-shaped nanoparticles depicts maximum values of performance index and Bejan number as 4.07 and 0.913, respectively. The first and second law characteristics of the best combination of the Al2O3\/Cu nanofluid with OS-shaped nanoparticles are investigated for various volume fractions, different temperature and mass flow rate conditions of hot and cold fluids. The first and second law characteristics are optimum at higher hot fluid temperature, lower cold fluid temperature, lower hot and cold fluid mass flow rates. In addition, the first and second law characteristics have improved with increase in volume fraction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13081466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]],"date-time":"2021-08-10T22:40:31Z","timestamp":1628635231000},"page":"1466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["First and Second Law Thermodynamic Analyses of Hybrid Nanofluid with Different Particle Shapes in a Microplate Heat Exchanger"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0893-0785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kunal Sandip","family":"Garud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dong-A University, 37 Nakdong-Daero 550, Saha-gu, Busan 49315, Korea"}]},{"given":"Seong-Guk","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dong-A University, 37 Nakdong-Daero 550, Saha-gu, Busan 49315, Korea"}]},{"given":"Taek-Kyu","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thermal Management R&D Center, KATECH, 303 Pungse-ro, Pungse-Myun, Cheonan 31214, Korea"}]},{"given":"Namwon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ingram School of Engineering, Texas State University, San Marcos, TX 78666, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8857-4444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moo-Yeon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dong-A University, 37 Nakdong-Daero 550, Saha-gu, Busan 49315, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1290","DOI":"10.1016\/j.energy.2015.06.084","article-title":"Effect of particle shape on suspension stability and thermal conductivities of water-based bohemite alumina nanofluids","volume":"90","author":"Kim","year":"2015","journal-title":"Energy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"571","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1015121805842","article-title":"Thermal conductivity of suspensions containing nanosized SiC particles","volume":"23","author":"Xie","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int.
