Question:

The maximum amount of water an adult in temperate climates can perspire in one hour is typically 1.8 L. However, after several weeks in a tropical climate the body can adapt, increasing the maximum perspiration rate to 3.5 L/h. At what rate, in watts, is energy being removed when perspiring that rapidly? Assume all of the perspired water evaporates. At body temperature, the heat of vaporization of water is Lv = 24 X 105 J/kg.
