Answer:

Sense the current leakage

Trip the circuit

Cut off the electricity

Explanation:

The correct order is -

Sense the current leakage

Trip the circuit

Cut off the electricity

Reason -

First step has to be taken to sense the electric current leakage without it being detected, it cant be dealt with.

The second step consists of tripping the circuit so at to remove the flow of electricity.

The third step is to Cut the electricity off so to stop the leakage and be safe.

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, $T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, $T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, $C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK$

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, $C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK$

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

$MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T$

$28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)$

Thus

$T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

$T_{e}$ = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

$\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}$

Now,

For Aluminium:

$\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K$

For Iron:

$\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K$

Thus

$\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K$
