A source adds (150 mathrm{~J}) of thermal energy to a steady device while (275 mathrm{~J}) of work

Question:

A source adds \(150 \mathrm{~J}\) of thermal energy to a steady device while \(275 \mathrm{~J}\) of work is done on the device. The device is in contact with its environment. Without specifying anything about the way the entropy of the device, source, or environment responds to changes in energy, what is the maximum amount of work \(W_{\text {out }}\) the device can do?
