The temperature-entropy $(T-S)$ diagram of a reversible engine cycle is given in the figure. Its efficiency is

An ideal Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of $30\%$. It absorbs heat from a hot reservoir at $727^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the cold reservoir is .... $^{\circ}C$.

The efficiency of a Carnot heat engine is $0.5$ when the temperature of the source is $T_{1}$ and that of the sink is $T_{2}$. The efficiency of another Carnot heat engine is also $0.5$. The temperatures of the source and sink of the second engine are respectively:

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. The engine $A$ receives heat from the source at temperature $T_1$ and rejects the heat to the sink at temperature $T$. The second engine $B$ receives the heat at temperature $T$ and rejects to its sink at temperature $T_2$. For what value of $T$ are the efficiencies of the two engines equal?
