(a)$\Delta U = \mu {C_V}\Delta T = 1 \times {C_V}({T_f} - {T_i}) = - \,{C_V}({T_i} - {T_f})$
==> |$\Delta U$| $= C_V (T_i -T_f)$

    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   ..... $K$
