Q2. A Carnot engine is operated between two heat reservoirs at temperatures of 400 K and 300 K. A. If the engine receives 1200 calories from the reservoir at 400k in each cycle how many calories does it reject to the reservoir at 300k. B. If the engine is operated as refrigerator i.e. in reverse and receives 1200 calories from the reservoir at 300k how many calories does it deliver to the reservoir at 400k. C.
