$A$ Carnot engine operating between temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ has an efficiency of $0.2$. When $T_2$ is lowered by $45 \text{ K}$, its efficiency becomes $0.5$. The temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ are respectively:

  • A
    $150 \text{ K}, 120 \text{ K}$
  • B
    $120 \text{ K}, 150 \text{ K}$
  • C
    $60 \text{ K}, 80 \text{ K}$
  • D
    $80 \text{ K}, 60 \text{ K}$

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. The first one,$A,$ receives heat at $T_1 = 600 \, K$ and rejects heat to a reservoir at temperature $T_2.$ The second engine $B$ receives the heat rejected by the first engine and,in turn,rejects heat to a reservoir at $T_3 = 400 \, K.$ Calculate the temperature $T_2$ if the work outputs of the two engines are equal. (in $K$)

$A$ reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^\circ C$,the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are:

$A$ Carnot engine with sink's temperature at $17\,^{\circ}C$ has $50\%$ efficiency. By how much should its source temperature be changed to increase its efficiency to $60\%$? (in $K$)

For a Carnot engine,the efficiency is given by $W/Q_1 = 1/6$. If the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,the efficiency doubles. The initial temperatures of the sink and the source are,respectively:

$A$ Carnot engine takes $3 \times 10^6$ calories 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
