Question: A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at T 2 = 6 0 0 KT _ 2 = 6 0 0 , text

A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at T2=600KT_2=600\,\text{K}T2=600K and T1=350KT_1=350\,\text{K}T1=350K. It takes in QH=1.00103JQ_H =1.00\times 10^3\,\text{J}QH=1.00103J of energy from the higher-temperature reservoir and performs W=250JW =250\,\text{J}W=250J of work.
(a) Find the entropy change of the Universe (SU\Delta S_USU).
(b) Calculate the work (WWW) that could have been done by an ideal Carnot engine operating between these two reservoirs.
