As shown in the figure below, two reversible cycles arranged in series each produce the same net work, Wcycle. The first cycle receives
energy QH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at TH-1000°R and rejects energy Q by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate
temperature, T. The second cycle receives energy Q by heat transfer from the reservoir at temperature T and rejects energy Qc by
heat transfer to a reservoir at Te - 500°R. All energy transfers are positive in the directions of the arrows.
