Question:

Dogs keep themselves cool by panting, rapidly breathing air in and out. Panting results in evaporation from moist tissues of the airway and lungs, which cools the animal. Measurements show that, on a 35°C day with a relative humidity of 50%, a 12 kg dog loses 1.0 g of water per minute if it is panting vigorously. What rate of heat loss, in watts, does this achieve?
