A thermodynamic engine operates cyclically and reversibly between two temperature reservoirs, absorbing heat from the high-temperature bath at 450 K and discharging heat to the low-temperature bath at 300 K.
a. What is the thermodynamic ef?ciency of the engine?
b. How much heat is discharged to the low-temperature bath if 1500 J of heat is absorbed from the high-temperature bath during each cycle?
c. How much work does the engine perform in one cycle of operation?
