Two ideal Carnot engines operate in cascade (all heat given up by one engine is used by the other engine to produce work) between temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$. The temperature of the hot reservoir of the first engine is $T_{1}$ and the temperature of the cold reservoir of the second engine is $T_{2}$. $T$ is the temperature of the sink of the first engine,which is also the source for the second engine. How is $T$ related to $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$,if both engines perform equal amounts of work?

$A$ Carnot engine takes $6000 \,cal$ of heat from a reservoir at $627^{\circ} C$ and gives it to a sink at $27^{\circ} C$. The work done by the engine is ......... $kcal$.

When the temperature difference between the source and sink increases,the efficiency of the heat engine
