The heat rate of a gas turbine using petroleum is 13,622. On the other hand, gas turbines that use natural gas produce a heat rate of 11,499.

Heat rate in gas turbine combustion refers to the amount of fuel energy required to produce a unit of power output. It is typically measured in British thermal units (BTU) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) or in joules per kilowatt-hour (kJ/kWh). A lower heat rate value indicates a more efficient combustion process.
Efficiency formula for a steam turbine is typically derived by dividing the electrical power output by the heat energy input. The heat rate of the steam turbine represents the amount of heat energy required per unit of electrical power generated, and by rearranging the equation, we can derive the efficiency formula as the reciprocal of the heat rate.

My dadd uses turbine to heat the gas of hiss engine after he stopped at the gas stop and didn't find any gas left. ( This may be a weird looking sentence for turbine,but at least I got an A on it. )
The efficiency of a steam turbine is just the ratio of power out to power in, but if you want to be able to calculate it from the basic mechanical design, this is a specialised topic. In the link below is a general description of steam turbines, in the references and additional reading list there are some references that may help you.
By increasing the flow rate of the natural gas being used as the fuel.

yes, it is a heat engine. A heat engine is one that extracts heat energy and converts it to mechanical energy.
1.Turbine output is increased for same compressor work. 2.As more heat is supplied,thermal efficiency decreases.
Turbine cycle heat rate is a measure of the turbine efficiency. It is determined from the total energy input supplied to the turbine divided by the electrical energy output. The energy input is the difference between the energy in the steam supplied to, and leaving from the turbine. The total energy supplied is the sum of the steam mass flow rates to the turbine multiplied by their respective enthalpies. The energy leaving is the sum of mass flow rates exiting the turbine multiplied by their respective enthalpies. Take the difference in the total energy supplied and leaving, divide by the electrical output and this gives you heat rate, typically expressed in Btu/kWh or kJ/kWh. This is easy for a single source of steam passing through the turbine to a condenser, but gets a bit more tricky for reheat turbines with multiple extractions as all the streams in and out have to be accounted for.
