If the engine absorbs heat at a rate of 50 kW, at what rate does it exhaust heat? 17. Two Carnot engines operate in series, where the first one receives heat at TH = 870 K and exhausts heat to a reservoir between the two engines at temperature T. The second engine takes all the heat released by the first engine and discharges heat to a low temperature reservoir at TL = 300 K. If the first engine performs two times the useful work of the second engine, determine the temperature T. 18. A piece of metal at 80°C is placed into 1.0 litre of water at 70°C.
