Two heat engines operating according to the Carnot cycle are arranged in series. The first machine A receives heat at 500 ° C and expels heat to a tank at temperature T. The second machine B receives the heat that the first expels and in turn expels heat to a tank at a temperature of 30 ° C. a) Calculate the temperature T for the case in which the jobs in the two machines are equal. b) Calculate the temperature T for the case in which the efficiencies in the two machines are equal
