Answer

$ Q_H' = 1692 J$ or $1.70 \space kJ$

Work Step by Step

From the figure given, we get $Q_H = 4000J$ when $T_H = 325 K$ Then we find the work done first $\frac{W}{Q_H} = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H} $ $W = (1 - \frac{250K}{325K}) 4000J $ $W = 923.08 J$ Now, find the $Q_H$ when $T_H$ is set to 550K is $\frac{W}{Q_H'} = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H} $ $\frac{923.08J}{Q_H'} = 1 - \frac{250K}{550K} $ $ Q_H' = 1692 J$ or $1.70 \space kJ$
