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?
