Question:
An adult takes roughly 12 breaths each minute, inhaling approximately 500mL with each breath. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs. The amount of nitrogen exhaled equals the amount inhaled, and the mole fraction of nitrogen in the exhaled air is 0.75. The exhaled air is saturated with water vapor at body temperature, 37°C. Estimate the increase in the rate of water loss (g/day) when a person breathing air at 23°C and a relative humidity of 50% enters an airplane in which the temperature is also 23°C but the relative humidity is 10%.
