A person is exercising hard outside when the temperature is 10°C, and the humidity is at 50%. She breathes 15 breaths each minute, taking in 700 ml air with each breath. Her nose is so cold, that the exhaled breath is only at 30°C. At what rate is she losing water through respiration (on a per-hour basis)?
Solution
volume of air inhales=volume of air exhaled=700ml
number of breath per minute=12
rate=volume/number of breaths per minute=700/12=58.33 ml
