$A$ car engine has a power of $20 kW$. The car makes a round trip of $1$ hour. If the thermal efficiency of the engine is $40 \%$ and the ambient temperature is $300 K$, the energy generated by fuel combustion is: (in $kJ$)

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:
