An ideal gas, initially in state $\left( P _{12}, V _1, T _1\right)$ is expanded isobarically to $\left( P _{12}, V _2, T _2\right)$, then adiabatically $\left( P _{34}, V _3, T _3\right)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $\left( P _{34}, V _4, T _4\right)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is

$P _{12} V _2^\gamma= P _{34} V_3^\gamma \quad \dots(i)$

$P _{34} V_4^\gamma= P _{12} V_1^\gamma \quad \dots(ii)$

Multiply $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$V _2^\gamma \cdot V _4^\gamma= V _1^\gamma \cdot V _3^\gamma$

$V _2 V _4= V _1 V _3 \Rightarrow\left(\frac{ V _2}{ V _3}=\frac{ V _1}{ V _4}\right)= K _4$

$\eta=\frac{\text { Work done }}{ Q _{\text {suppl. }}}=1-\frac{ Q _{\text {rej }}}{ Q _{\text {supp }}}=1-\frac{ n _{ C / P } \Delta T _{34}}{ n _{ C / P } \Delta T _{12}}$

$=1-\frac{\Delta( PV )_{34}}{\Delta( PV )_{12}}=1-\frac{ P _{34}\left( V _3- V _4\right)}{ P _{12}\left( V _2- V _1\right)}$

    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 ...... $K$
