Expert Solution
Step 1

As per the answering guideline we will solve the first question only. Please upload rest of the questions separately.

 

Given Information:-

Temperature of the hot reservoir is 

TH=235+273K

    =508K

Temperature of the coolant is 

TC=273+129K

    =402 K

Amount of heat absorb at higher temperature is 

QH=3.53×104 J

 

Required:-

We need to calculate the efficiency of the engine and amount of work done per cycle by the engine.
