An engine has an efficiency of $1/6$. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,its efficiency is doubled. The temperature of the source is ....... $^{\circ}C$.

$A$ number of Carnot engines are operated at identical cold reservoir temperatures $(T_{L})$. However,their hot reservoir temperatures are kept different. $A$ graph of the efficiency of the engines versus hot reservoir temperature $(T_{H})$ is plotted. The correct graphical representation is

$300 \, cal$ of heat is given to a heat engine and it rejects $225 \, cal$ of heat. If the source temperature is $227^{\circ} C$,then the temperature of the sink will be . . . . . . $^{\circ} C$.

In a Carnot engine,the temperature of the reservoir is $527^{\circ} C$ and that of the sink is $200 \; K$. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from the reservoir to the sink is $12000 \; kJ$,the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is $x \times 10^{6} \; J$. Find the value of $x$.

The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating with reservoir temperatures of $100\,^{\circ}C$ and $-23\,^{\circ}C$ will be
