Important Questions on Chemical Thermodynamics

HARD
Two ideal Carnot engines operate in a cascade (all heat given up by one engine is used by the other engine to produce work) between temperatures, T1 and T2 . The temperature of the hot reservoir of the first engine is T1 and the temperature of the cold reservoir of the second engine is T2. T is the temperature of the sink of the first engine which is also the source for the second engine. How is T related to T1 and T2, if both the engines perform an equal amount of work?

A container is divided into two compartments by a removable partition as shown below:

Question Image

In the first compartment, n1 moles of ideal gas He is present in a volume V1. In the second compartment, n2 moles of ideal gas Ne is present in a volume V2. The temperature and pressure in both the compartments are T and P, respectively. Assuming R is the gas constant, the total change in entropy upon removing the partition when the gases mix irreversibly is:
