First case : $\eta=1-\frac{100}{300}=\frac{2}{3}$

Second case : $\eta_{\text {net }}=\eta_{1}+\eta_{2}-\eta_{1} \eta_{2}$

$\eta_{1}=1-\frac{200}{300}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\eta_{2}=1-\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\eta_{\text {net }}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\eta$ (first case) $=\eta$ (second case)

    Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. The first one, $A,$ receives heat at $T_1(= 600\,K)$ and rejects to a reservoir at temperature $T_2.$ The second engine $B$ receives heat rejected by the first engine and, in turns, rejects to a heat reservoir at $T_3 (=400\,K).$ Calculate the temperature $T_2$ if the work outputs of the two engines are equal   ..... $K$
