A temperature change of 2.5°C was noted. Estimate the heat transfer that took place. (Ignore all other heat loss)arrow_forwardDogs 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?arrow_forward
