Supporting Data and Workflow for "Assessment of the Influence of Pinch-Point Temperature Difference on Exergy Destruction in a Simple ORC with a Solar Thermal Source for Industrial Applications"

This repository provides all the necessary input parameters, baseline output results, and calculation sequence required to fully reproduce and validate the thermodynamic, exergy, and economic modeling presented in the article. Contents: Input Data: Operating parameters for four working fluids covering different condenser and evaporator pinch-point temperature differences, stage temperatures, evaporation and condensation pressures, thermal source/cooling temperatures, and required solar collector areas. Output Data: Results for exergy efficiency, total exergy destruction, sustainability index, levelized cost of energy, and simple payback period. Calculation Logic: Block diagram illustrating the computational sequence used to process the inputs and evaluate the cycle's thermodynamic and economic response.
