This problem compares the energy output and heat transfer to the environment by two different types of nuclear power stations-one with the normal efficiency of 32.16N%, and another with an improved efficiency of 43.521%). Suppose both have the same heat transfer into the engine in one day, 3.29 x 1014J. a) How much more electrical energy is produced by the more efficient power station?
