Answer:
a) to heat a home, the furnace burns fuel, whose chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy, which is then transferred to the home's air to raise its temperature.
b)The hotter the steam and the colder the air, the more efficient is the steam engine at converting heat into work. In a typical steam engine a piston moves back and forth inside a cylinder. ... The expanding steam transfers some of its thermal energy to this machinery, so the steam becomes cooler as the machinery operates.
