What If? For parts (b) through (e) that follow, assume the two engines are Carnot engines. Engine 1 operates be- tween temperatures T and T;. The gas in engine 2 varies in temperature between T; and T. In terms of the tempera- tures, (b) what is the efficiency of the combination engine? (C) Does an improvement in net efficiency result from the use of two engines instead of one? (d) What value of the in- ermediate temperature T, results in equal work being done by each of the two engines in series? (e) What value of T; results in each of the two engines in series having the same C° efficiency?

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?
