Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in series. The first one, A receives heat at T1 (= 600K) and rejects to a reservoir at temperature T2 . The second engine B receives heat rejected by the first engine and, in turn, rejects to a heat reservoir at T3 (= 400K ) Calculate the temperature T2 if the work outputs of the two engines are equal - VgyanHub
