	If possible, I hope to know the reason why the efficiency(or heat rate) of Combined cycle gas turbine power plant is the highest(or lowest in the heat rate) in ISO temperature 59 F, 15℃ and why it becomes lower(or higher in the heat rate) at higher temperature. I would very much more appreciate it if some documents stated about this issue are available as well.Thanks.
