Dogs keep themselves cool by panting, which results in evaporation from moist tissues of the airway and lungs, cooling the animal. Measurements show that, on a 95 ◦F day with a relative humidity of 50%, a 25 lb dog loses 1 g of water per minute if it is panting vigorously. What rate of heat loss, in watts, does this achieve?
A window of a car is found to be covered with 0.9 cm of ice. If the area of the window is 1 m2, and the ice is at -12 degrees Celsius, what is the minimum heat required to melt all the ice?
