Question
Mass=7,037.2 g , a=63.6 ml O2 hr-1 , b=0.76 BMR=a*mass^b BMR=(63.6 ml O2 hr-1 )(7,037.2g^0.76)=53,392.6 J / hour (53,392.6 J/hour)(1kJ / 1,000J)=53.39 kJ / hour
Mass=7,037.2 g , a=63.6 ml O2 hr-1 , b=0.76 BMR=a*mass^b BMR=(63.6 ml O2 hr-1 )(7,037.2g^0.76)=53,392.6 J / hour
(53,392.6 J/hour)(1kJ / 1,000J)=53.39 kJ / hour
(53.39 kJ / hour)(0.239006 kcal / kJ)=12.76 kcal / hour (12.76 kcal / hour)(24 hour / day)=306.24 kcal/day
Is there any error in this calculation?
Please explain why the unit for BMR becomes J / hour.
