$A$ Carnot engine takes $3 \times 10^6 \, \text{cal}$ of heat from a reservoir at $627^{\circ}C$ and gives it to a sink at $27^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is:

  • A
    $4.2 \times 10^6 \, \text{J}$
  • B
    $8.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{J}$
  • C
    $16.8 \times 10^6 \, \text{J}$
  • D
    Zero

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. Engine $A$ receives heat from a reservoir at $600\,K$ and rejects heat to a reservoir at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ receives heat rejected by engine $A$ and in turn rejects it to a reservoir at $100\,K$. If the efficiencies of the two engines $A$ and $B$ are equal,what is the value of the intermediate temperature $T$ and the ratio of their efficiencies $\frac{\eta_A}{\eta_B}$?

An ideal heat engine exhausting heat at $77^{\circ}C$ is to have a $30\%$ efficiency. It must take heat at ...... $^{\circ}C$.
