FIGURE 15 With further gas-turbine cycle refinement, the specific
fuel consumption declines. These curves are based on assumed
efficiencies with T = 1400°F (760°C).

Two recent developments in gas-turbine plants promise much for the
future. The first of these developments is the single-shaft combined-cycle gas
and steam turbine, Fig. 16. In this cycle, the gas turbine exhausts into a heat-
recovery steam generator (HRSG) that supplies steam to the turbine.
