A heat engine operates between a cold reservoir at temperature ${T}_{2}=400\, {K}$ and a hot reservoir at temperature ${T}_{1} .$ It takes $300 \,{J}$ of heat from the hot reservoir and delivers $240\, {J}$ of heat to the cold reservoir in a cycle. The minimum temperature of the hot reservoir has to be $....{K}$

${Q}_{\text {in }}=300\, {J} ; Q_{\text { out }}=240\, {J}$

Work done $=Q_{\text {in }}-Q_{\text {out }}=300-240=60 {J}$

Efficiency $=\frac{W}{{Q}_{\text {in }}}=\frac{60}{300}=\frac{1}{5}$

efficiency $=1-\frac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}}$

$\frac{1}{5}=1-\frac{400}{{T}_{1}} \Rightarrow \frac{400}{{T}_{1}}=\frac{4}{5}$

${T}_{1}=500\, {k}$

    One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes:

    Step $1$ It is first compressed adiabatically from volume $8.0 \,m ^{3}$ to $1.0 \,m ^{3}$.

    Step $2$ Then expanded isothermally at temperature $T_{1}$ to volume $10.0 \,m ^{3}$.

    Step $3$ Then expanded adiabatically to volume $80.0 \,m ^{3}$.
