a. A heat engine does $200 \mathrm{J}$ of work per cycle while exhausting $600 \mathrm{J}$ of heat to the cold reservoir. What is the engine's thermal efficiency? b. A Carnot engine with a hot-reservoir temperature of $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ has the same thermal efficiency. What is the cold-reservoir temperature in $^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
A heat engine takes in 360 J of energy from a hot reservoir and performs 25.0 J of work in each cycle. Find (a) the efficiency of the engine and (b) the energy expelled to the cold reservoir in each cycle.
