(B) For a Carnot engine,the efficiency is given by $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_{sink}}{T_{source}}$ and work done is $W = Q_{source} - Q_{sink} = Q_{source} \eta$.For the first engine: $W_1 = Q_1 - Q_2 = Q_1 \left(1 - \frac{T}{1100}\right)$.For the second engine: $W_2 = Q_2 - Q_3 = Q_2 \left(1 - \frac{200}{T}\right)$.Given $W_1 = W_2$,we have $Q_1 - Q_2 = Q_2 - Q_3$.Also,for Carnot cycles,$\frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{1100}{T}$ and $\frac{Q_2}{Q_3} = \frac{T}{200}$.From $W_1 = W_2$,$Q_1 - Q_2 = Q_2 - Q_3 \implies Q_1 = 2Q_2 - Q_3$.Dividing by $Q_2$: $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = 2 - \frac{Q_3}{Q_2}$.Substituting the temperature ratios: $\frac{1100}{T} = 2 - \frac{200}{T}$.Multiplying by $T$: $1100 = 2T - 200$.$2T = 1300 \implies T = 650 \ K$.Wait,re-evaluating the diagram: The heat rejected by the first engine is $Q_2$. The heat input to the second engine is $Q_2$. The diagram shows $Q_2$ entering the second engine. The work done is $W_1 = Q_1 - Q_2$ and $W_2 = Q_2 - Q_3$. Given $W_1 = W_2$,then $Q_1 - Q_2 = Q_2 - Q_3$. Since $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2} = \frac{1100}{T}$ and $\frac{Q_2}{Q_3} = \frac{T}{200}$,we have $Q_1 = Q_2 \frac{1100}{T}$ and $Q_3 = Q_2 \frac{200}{T}$.Substituting into $Q_1 - Q_2 = Q_2 - Q_3$: $Q_2 \frac{1100}{T} - Q_2 = Q_2 - Q_2 \frac{200}{T}$.Dividing by $Q_2$: $\frac{1100}{T} - 1 = 1 - \frac{200}{T}$.$\frac{1100}{T} + \frac{200}{T} = 2 \implies \frac{1300}{T} = 2 \implies T = 650 \ K$. Given the options,let's re-check the diagram. The diagram shows $Q_2/2$ entering the second engine. If the input to the second engine is $Q_2/2$,then $W_2 = \frac{Q_2}{2} - Q_3$. $W_1 = Q_1 - Q_2 = Q_2(\frac{1100}{T} - 1)$.$W_2 = \frac{Q_2}{2} - Q_3 = \frac{Q_2}{2} (1 - \frac{200}{T})$.Equating $W_1 = W_2$: $Q_2(\frac{1100}{T} - 1) = \frac{Q_2}{2} (1 - \frac{200}{T})$.$\frac{1100}{T} - 1 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{100}{T}$.$\frac{1200}{T} = 1.5 \implies T = \frac{1200}{1.5} = 800 \ K$.

Consider the given series combination of Carnot cycles. If $W_1 = W_2$,then the value of $T$ is ...... $K$ (all temperatures are maintained at their respective values).

$A$ Carnot engine is made to work between $200\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$ first and then between $0\,^{\circ}C$ and $-200\,^{\circ}C$. The ratio of efficiencies $\left( \frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1} \right)$ of the engine in the two cases is:

What is a Carnot engine?

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $50\%$ and the temperature of the sink is $500\,K$. If the temperature of the source is kept constant and its efficiency is to be raised to $60\%$,then the required temperature of the sink will be ........... $K$.
