Question: A Carnot cycle operates between two heat sources at temperatures T 1 and T 2 ( T 1 > T 2 ) . However, the

A Carnot cycle operates between two heat sources at temperatures T1 and T2(T1> T2).
However, the temperature of the working fluid is 1 and 2, where 1< T1 and 2> T2. If
T1=(1+kQ1) and T =(2-kQ2) where, Q1 and Q2 are the amounts of heat extracted
from the hot source and rejected to sink, respectively, and K is a constant. Show that the
efficiency of the engine is given by =1- T2/(T1-2KQ1)
