Suppose a person inhales and exhales 2.25 L of 37.0°C air, evaporating 4.2 × 10-2 g of water from the lungs and breathing passages with each breath. 101.4 J of
a) What is the rate of heat transfer, in watts, if the person is breathing at a moderate rate of 18.0 breaths per minute?
b) If the inhaled air had a temperature of 20.0°C, what is the rate of heat transfer, in watts, for warming the air to the body temperature of 37ºC? You may assume the temperature inside a human body is a constant 37.0°C, and the density of air at this temperature is 1.20 kg/m3.
