To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of the Carnot engine and the formula for efficiency. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - The heat sink temperature (T2) is given as 27°C. - The efficiency (η) of the Carnot engine is 40%, which can be expressed as a decimal: η = 0.40. - We want to increase the efficiency by 10% of the original efficiency, which means the new efficiency (η') will be 40% + 4% = 44%. ### Step 2: Convert the Heat Sink Temperature to Kelvin ...
