Suppose both have the same heat transfer into the engine in one day, 2.50×1014 J . (a) How much more electrical energy is produced by the more efficient power station? (b) How much less heat transfer occurs to the environment by the moreefficient power station?

Yet according to the law from energy conservation, the energy efficiency of a device should never come into over 100%, since energy cannot be created or destroyed. So there is thermal energy that is transferred from the outside to the inside of the house.
