Answer

Heat requirement of second Engine is $Q_2=3807.69J$

Work Step by Step

Given that engine 1 has efficiency $ e_{1}=0.18 $ suppose Amount of work done by engine 1 $=W_1$ Heat requirement of engine 1 is $=Q_1=5500J$ from definition of efficiency of engine $e_1=\frac{W_1}{Q_1}$ So $W_1=e_{1}Q_{1}$ $W_1=0.18\times5500J$ so work done by engine 1 is $W_1=990J$.......equation(1) Efficiency of engine 2 is $e_{2}=0.26$ given that Engine 2 dose the same work as engine 1 so work done by engine 2 is $W_2=W_1=990J$ suppose it requires heat $Q_1$ from definition of efficiency of engine $e_2=\frac{W_2}{Q_2}$ $Q_2=\frac{W_2}{e_2}$ $Q_2=\frac{990J}{0.26}$ $Q_2=3807.69J$
