The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends on what,and of what is it independent?

$A$ Carnot engine with efficiency $50\%$ takes heat from a source at $600\text{ K}$. To increase the efficiency by $20\%$, keeping the temperature of the sink the same, the new temperature of the source will be: (in $\text{ K}$)

$A$ diatomic gas is used in a Carnot heat engine. If the efficiency of the given Carnot heat engine is $80\%$,then find the ratio of the initial volume to the final volume of the gas during adiabatic expansion.

In a heat engine,the temperature of the source and sink are $500\, K$ and $375\, K$. If the engine consumes $25\times10^5\, J$ per cycle,the work done per cycle is

$A$ Carnot engine operating between temperatures $600 \,K$ and $300 \,K$ absorbs $800 \,J$ of heat from the source. The mechanical work done per cycle is (in $\,J$)
