for a complete cycle and for given cycle work done is negative,
so from first law of thermodynamics $Q$ will be negative i.e. $Q < 0$.

A Carnot engine with efficiency $50\,\%$ takes heat from a source at $600\,K$. In order to increase the efficiency to $70\,\%$, keeping the temperature of sink same, the new temperature of the source will be $.........\,K$
If a gas is taken from $A$ to $C$ through $B$ then heat absorbed by the gas is $8 \,J$. Heat absorbed by the gas in taking it from $A$ to $C$ directly is ............. $J$
A real gas within a closed chamber at $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ undergoes the cyclic process as shown in figure. The gas obeys $P V^3=\mathrm{RT}$ equation for the path $A$ to $B$. The net work done in the complete cycle is (assuming $R=8 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{molK}$ ):
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 ...... $K$
