5020 Joules. The maximum theoretical efficiency of an heat engine is e = 1 - Tc/Th where e = efficiency Tc = cold temperature (absolute) Th = hot temperature (absolute) So let's convert the temperatures from C to K. Tc = 20 + 273.15 = 293.15 K Th = 600 + 273.15 = 873.15 K And substitute the values into the formula. e = 1 - 293.15/873.15 e = 1 - 0.335738418 e = 0.664261582 Since our engine is only operating at 30% of this efficiency, the actual efficiency is 0.3 * 0.664261582 = 0.199278474 So in order to do 1000 J of work, 1000 J / 0.199278474 = 5018.103448 J of energy must be extracted from the hot reservoir. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 5020 Joules.

The energy required by the engine from the reservoir to do [tex]1000\,{\text{J}}[/tex]  of work is [tex]\boxed{5020\,{\text{J}}}[/tex] .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The temperature of the first reservoir is [tex]{600\:^{\circ}\text{C}}[/tex] or [tex]873\,{\text{K}}[/tex] .

The temperature of the second reservoir is [tex]{20\:^{\circ}\text{C}}[/tex]  or [tex]293\,{\text{K}}[/tex] .

Concept:

The maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine working between the energy reservoirs at different temperatures is:

[tex]\boxed{\eta=1-\frac{{{T_b}}}{{{T_a}}}}[/tex]

Here, [tex]\eta[/tex]  is the efficiency of the engine, [tex]{T_a}[/tex]  is the temperature of the first reservoir and [tex]{T_b}[/tex]  is the temperature of the second reservoir.

Substitute the values of [tex]{T_a}[/tex]  and [tex]{T_b}[/tex]  in above expression.

[tex]\begin{aligned}\eta&=1-\frac{{293}}{{873}}\\&=0.664\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now the efficiency of the engine is [tex]30\%[/tex]  of its maximum possible efficiency.

[tex]\begin{aligned}\eta'&=30\% \,{\text{of}}\,0.664\\&=\frac{{30}}{{100}}\times0.664\\&=0.199\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The efficiency of the engine is defined as the ratio of the work done to the amount of energy extracted by the engine.

[tex]\eta '=\frac{W}{Q}[/tex]

Substitute the values of [tex]W[/tex]  and [tex]\eta '[/tex]  in above expression.

[tex]\begin{aligned}0.1992&=\frac{{1000\,{\text{J}}}}{Q}\\Q&=\frac{{1000}}{{0.1992}}\\&\approx5020\,{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the energy required by the engine from the reservoir to do [tex]1000\,{\text{J}}[/tex]  of work is [tex]\boxed{5020\,{\text{J}}}[/tex] .
