Question
100%

Can you please help me with ONLY the C,D, and E parts of this question? I would appreciate any insight or explanation on the final 3 parts only.  I asked this question already but I got an explanation of the first 3 instead of the final. lol. Thank you! For C, I understand that Th>Ti>Tc, does this mean that since the ec=1-Tc/Th that the efficiency won't change with having two engines because we are using the same temps?
