$A$ Carnot engine takes $5000 \, kcal$ of heat from a reservoir at $727 \, ^{\circ}C$ and gives heat to a sink at $127 \, ^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is $.......... \times 10^{6} \, J$.

Consider a two-stage Carnot engine. In the first stage, heat $Q_1$ is absorbed at temperature $T$ and heat $Q_2$ is expelled at temperature $\alpha T$ (where $\alpha < 1$). In the second stage, heat $Q_2$ is absorbed at temperature $\alpha T$ and heat $Q_3$ is expelled at temperature $\beta T$ (where $\beta < \alpha$). The efficiency of the Carnot engine will be

$A$ Carnot engine operating between temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ has an efficiency of $0.2$. When $T_2$ is lowered by $45 \text{ K}$, its efficiency becomes $0.5$. The temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ are respectively:
