Step 1. We have data
Temperature,

T 1

= 900 K

Temperature,

T 2 = 300 K

Work done,

W = 1200 J

Step 2. Finding the Efficiency,

η

Utilizing the Efficiency Formula

η = 1 - \frac{T}{2}

η = 1 - \frac{300}{900}

η = \frac{2}{3}

Step 3. Finding the heat delivered,

Q H

By using the formula,

η = \frac{W}{Q}

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1200}{Q}

Q H = 600 J

Consequently, the engine's heat delivery is

600 J
