Türkiye is one of the biggest developing countries and the second biggest cement exporter in the world. In 2021, the country exported around $1billion of cement, which is responsible for over 8% of emissions globally. In order to fulfill the EU norms, energy, emissions, and cost reduction investments continue in the country. The aim of this paper is to perform a detailed exergoeconomic assessment of a rotary burner to increase the energy and exergy performance and decrease energy consumption, exergy costs and environmental impacts of a real scale cement factory in Türkiye. During the 2-year period, detailed data has been obtained from the factory by real time detection of clinker manufacturing process. By applying the specific exergy costing (SPECO) method, energy and exergy destructions, and exergetic cost distributions for the rotary burner are calculated in detail. The 1st and 2nd law efficiencies of the overall factory, specific energy (SEC) and exergy (SExC) consumption, and SPECO for clinker production are calculated to be 59.84%, 39.04%, 4786.75 MJ/ton, 5230.38 MJ/ton, and 10.11 $/MJ, respectively. The use of magnesia-spinel composite refractory bricks and the anzast layer formation decreased the SPECO by 2.71% corresponding to a saving of $2,280,000 preventing 13.74 MtCO emissions yearly.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how six different operating conditions influence the performance of a 3 kW organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system using three distinct working fluids.
- Despite variations in the working fluids' physical properties, the system's overall performance remained consistent, although cooling water temperature and condensation temperature affected the results.
- The findings indicate that R245fa yielded the highest theoretical power generation and efficiencies under specific conditions, with notable maximum power generation and net work but also significant total exergy loss in one scenario.

This study presents an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the performance of a standard 200 W solar cell, focusing on the energy and exergy aspects. A significant research gap exists in the comprehensive integration of numerical models with advanced machine-learning approaches, specifically emotional artificial neural networks (EANN), to simulate and optimize the electrical characteristics and efficiency of solar panels. To address this gap, a numerical model alongside a novel EANN was employed to simulate the system's electrical characteristics, including open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, system resistances, maximum power point characteristics, and characteristic curves.
