4.18 Consider a cold winter day with an air temperature of 5C and relative humidity of about 20% (moisture content 0.001gH2O/g dry air). A person waiting at a bus stop inhales at an average rate of 7g dry air/min and exhales air saturated with water at body temperature (37C) and 1atm. The heat capacity of dry air is 1.05J/(gC). Estimate the rate of heat loss by breathing in kcal/hr
