For an ideal heat engine,the temperature of the source is $127\,^{\circ} C$. In order to have $60\, \%$ efficiency,the temperature of the sink should be $........\,{ }^{\circ} C$. (Round off to the nearest integer)

$A$ 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 $K$)

$A$ Carnot engine $(E)$ is working between two temperatures $473 \ K$ and $273 \ K$. In a new system,two engines are used: engine $E_1$ works between $473 \ K$ and $373 \ K$,and engine $E_2$ works between $373 \ K$ and $273 \ K$. If $\eta_{12}$,$\eta_1$,and $\eta_2$ are the efficiencies of the engines $E$,$E_1$,and $E_2$ respectively,then:

Consider a reversible engine of efficiency $\frac{1}{6}$. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ} C$, its efficiency gets doubled. The temperature of the source and sink respectively are

An ideal heat engine based on the Carnot cycle operates between temperatures of $227 \, ^\circ C$ and $127 \, ^\circ C$. If it absorbs $6 \times 10^{4} \, cal$ of heat from the high-temperature reservoir,the net work done by the engine is:
