In an ideal heat engine, the gas gave 55% of the amount of heat received from the heater to the refrigerator. Determine the temperature of the refrigerator if the heater temperature is 327C

Since we are given an ideal heat engine, then according to the Carnot Cycle, we can find the efficiency of a heat engine: efficiency = 1 – Tx \ Tn. From here we can express the temperature of the refrigerator, it will be equal to: Tx = (1 – efficiency) * 600K = (1 – 0.55) * 600K = 270K.

Answer: T (refrigerator) = 270K
