A heat engine is a system that converts heat into mechanical work. A heat "source" generates thermal energy that brings a working substance to a high temperature. The working substance then generates work in the engine while transferring heat to a sink at a lower temperature . The working of a heat engine is shownn figure 1. Heat engines can be modelled using themodynamic cycles. The heat engine given in Figure -2 is of a working substance which is 1.00 mol of a monoatomic ideal gas . The thermodynamic cycle begins at the point designated as '1' and goes clockwise and the values of P and l or V at each point is as given below Fig-2 (P_(1)=1.00 atm " and " V_(1) = 24.6 L , P_(2)=2.00 atm , V_(3) =49.2L, P_(4)=1.00 atm) Calculate T_(1),T_(2),T_(3) "and" T_(4)

Even carnot heat engine cannot give 100% efficiency. Explain why OR can you design a heat engine of 100% efficiency? Explain ypur answer. OR A heat engine with 100% efficiency is only a theoretical possibility. Explain.

Two heat engines are operating in such a way that the heat rejected by the first engine is used as the heat input of the second. If both the engines are 40% efficient, then the overall efficiency of the system is

Consider a heat engine as shown in (figure). Q_(1) and Q_(2) are heat added to heat bath T_(1) and heat taken from T_(2) one cycle of engine. W is the mechanical work done on the engine. If Wgt0 , then possibillities are:
