The first operation involved in a Carnot cycle is

An engine performs $2000 \,J$ of mechanical work and discards $4000 \,J$ of heat each cycle. What is the thermal efficiency of the engine (in $\%$)?

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 raised to $60\%$,then the required temperature of the sink will be: (in $K$)

What is a heat engine?

$A$ Carnot engine,whose efficiency is $40\%$,takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $500\ K$. It is desired to have an engine of efficiency $60\%$. Then,the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature must be ....... $K$.
