Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. The engine $A$ receives heat from the source at temperature $T_1$ and rejects the heat to the sink at temperature $T$. The second engine $B$ receives the heat at temperature $T$ and rejects to its sink at temperature $T_2$. For what value of $T$ are the efficiencies of the two engines equal?
- A$\frac{T_1 + T_2}{2}$
- B$\frac{T_1 - T_2}{2}$
- C$T_1 T_2$
- D$\sqrt{T_1 T_2}$

View SolutionTwo Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ operate in series such that engine $A$ absorbs heat $Q_1$ at temperature $T_1$ and rejects heat $Q$ to a sink at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ absorbs half of the heat rejected by engine $A$ (i.e.,$Q/2$) and rejects heat $Q_3$ to the sink at temperature $T_3$. When the work done in both cases is equal,the value of $T$ is:
