(c) $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
$\therefore $$\Delta U = \Delta Q - \Delta W = 540 - \frac{{P({V_2}/{V_1})}}{J}$
$ = 540 - \frac{{1.013 \times {{10}^5} \times [(1671 - 1) \times {{10}^{ - 6}}]}}{{4.2}}$
$ = 540 - 39.7 = 500\;calories$

    Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in succession. The first one, $A$ receives  heat from a source at $T_1 = 800\, K$ and rejects to sink at $T_2K$. The  second engine $B$ receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink  at $T_3 = 300\, K$. If the work outputs of two engines are equal, then the value of $T_2$ is ...... $K$
