This new book, Flexible Kalina Cycle Systems, provides a good understanding of the binary fluid system, highlighting new dimensions of the existing Kalina cycle system, a thermodynamic process for converting thermal energy into usable mechanical power. The volume illustrates that providing new flexibility leads to new research outcomes and possible new projects in this field.

The information provided in the book simplifies the application of the Kalina cycle system with an easy-to-understand and thorough explanation of properties development, processes solutions, sub-system work, and total system work. There are currently no books available in the area of binary fluid system in the field of KCS with added fallibility in the operation and process design. Currently decentralized power systems are gaining more attention due to shortages in power, and cooling demands are competing with other electrical loads.

This book fills a valuable information gap, providing insight into a new dimension for designers, practicing engineers, and academicians in this area.
