    Given data

    Source temperature (T₁) = 177°C = 177+273 = 450 K

    Sink temperature (T₂) = 27°C = 27+273 = 300 K

    Energy input (Q₁) = 3600 J,

    Work done = ?

    We know that, efficiency (η) = Net work done : Heat supplied

    η = W : Q₁

    W = η * Q₁

    First determine the efficiency (η) = ?

    Also, we know that (η) = (T₁ - T₂) : (T₁)

    = 33.3% = 0.333

    Now, Work done is W = η * Q₁

    = 0.33 * 3600

    W = 1188 J

    Work done by the engine is 1188 J
