$A$ 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:

  • A
    $1:1.5$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $1:2$
  • D
    $1.73:1$

Give the basic features of a heat engine based on a cyclic process and obtain the formula for its efficiency.

Suppose that two heat engines are connected in series,such that the heat released by the first engine is used as the heat absorbed by the second engine,as shown in the figure. The efficiencies of the engines are $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$,respectively. The net efficiency of the combination is given by:
