Suppose that 1200 J of heat is used as input for an engine under two different conditions. In part a, the heat is supplied by a hot reservoir whose temperature is 380 C. In part b, the heat flows irreversibly through a copper rod into a second reservoir whose temperature is 80 C and then enters the engine. In either case, a 150-K reservoir is used as the cold reservoir. For each case, determine the maximum amount of work that can be obtained from the 1200 J of heat.

Consider a well-insulated horizontal rigid cylinder that is divided into two compartments by a piston that is free to move, but does not allow either gas to leak into the other side. Initially, one side of the piston contains 1 m3 of N2 gas at 500 kPa and 120°C while the other side contains 1 m3 of He gas at 500 kPa and 40°C. Now thermal equilibrium is established in the cylinder as a result of heat transfer through the piston. Using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the final equilibrium temperature in the cylinder. What would your answer be if the piston were not free to move?
