An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between $227^{\circ}C$ and $127^{\circ}C$. It absorbs $6 \times 10^4 \, J$ of heat at the high temperature. The amount of heat converted into work is:

$A$ Carnot engine with efficiency $50 \%$ takes heat from a source at $600 \ K$. To increase the efficiency to $70 \%$,keeping the temperature of the sink same,the new temperature of the source will be (in $K$)

$A$ Carnot engine operating between two reservoirs has an efficiency of $\frac{1}{3}$. When the temperature of the cold reservoir is raised by $x$,its efficiency decreases to $\frac{1}{6}$. The value of $x$,if the temperature of the hot reservoir is $99^{\circ} C$,will be $........ K$.

Even a Carnot engine cannot give $100\%$ efficiency because we cannot

Suppose that two heat engines are connected in series,such that the heat exhaust of the first engine is used as the heat input of the second engine as shown in the figure. The efficiencies of the engines are $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$,respectively. The net efficiency of the combination is given by
