Chapter 12, Problem 93(choose chapter or problem)
A 5000 kg African elephantBIO has a resting metabol ic rate ofINT 2500 W. On a hot day, the elephant'senvironment is likely tobe nearly the same temperatureas the animal itself, so coolingby radiation is not effective.The only plausible way to keepcool is by evaporation, and elephants spray water on their bodyto accomplish this. If this is the only possible means of cooling,how many kilograms of water per hour must be evaporated froman e lephant's skin to keep it at a constant temperature?
