A system of 100 kg mass undergoes a process in which its specific entropy increases from 0.3 kJ/kgK to 0.4 kJ/kgK. At the same time, the entropy of the surroundings decreases from 80 kJ/K to 75 kJ/K.
The process is

The internal energy of a certain system is a function of temperature alone and is given by the formula E = 25 + 0.25t kJ. If this system executes a process in which the work done by it, per degree temperature increase, is 0.75 kNm, then the heat interaction per degree temperature increase, in kJ, is
