However, because most process applications of gas tur- bines use the exhaust gas heat in steam-producing boilers or other process uses, simple-cycle units are more common. With exhaust heat recovery, simple-cycle gas turbine efficiency meets or exceeds regenera- tive cycle efficiency. ‘Another reason for the increased use of gas turbines as prime movers in the process industry is the high thermodynamic cycle efficiencies and subsequent low operating cost.
