Two carnot engines A and B are operated ...

Two carnot engines A and B are operated in series. The first one A receives heat at 8 K and rejects to a reservoir at temperature TK. The second engine B receives the heat rejected by the first engine and in turn rejects to a heat reservoir at 2K. Calculate the temperature TK when the efficiencies of the two engines are equal.
