Question
You are designing an experiment to determine if you can make desert kangaroo rats
active at noon. At noon the ground and air are warmer than the internal temperature
of the rats. You decide to provide the kangaroo rats with enough water to ensure
they can maintain body temperature homeostasis. Based on a simplified model, you
determine that at noon, kangaroo rats:
- Gain 8 watts of heat from radiation and 1 watt of heat from metabolism
- Lose 1 watt of heat by re-radiation
- Gain 6 watts of heat from the surrounding desert ground and air via conduction
and convection
The kangaroo rat is not in energy balance. Since kangaroo rats lose 1 watt through
latent heat (i.e. evaporative cooling) with each 2 ml of water consumed, how much
water would you need to provide the kangaroo rat so that it can reach homeostasis?
