    Calculate the energy in BTUs that is removed

    Whoops...sorry I meant to put in what each letter stood for. Q = cm\DeltaT \DeltaT - change in temp m - mass c - specific heat (which is given) 1 ton = 2000 lbs = 907.184 kg kW = Btu / 3414 Q = (.8 BTU/lb/F)(907.184kg)(20C) Q = Can I convert the BTUs to kW just by using the...

    How Much Water Must Be Supplied to Saturate Breathed Air and Its Caloric Impact?

    So would the relative humidity at 68F/20C be 8.65g/m^3, being that it's 50%? And the relative humidity at 98.6F/37C would be 44g/m^3 since it is 100%? Does the question want to how much MORE water the membranes would have to produce to completely saturate the air at 37 degrees C?

    How Much Water Must Be Supplied to Saturate Breathed Air and Its Caloric Impact?

    Homework Statement If a person breathes 10 liters per minute of air at 68 degrees F and 50% relative humidity, how much water per day must the internal membranes supply to saturate the air at 98.6 degrees F? (Assume all the moisture is exhaled). I f each gram of water extracts 580 calories as...

    Projectile Motion: Calculating Distance and Velocity with Two Formulas

    1. A boy standing on the ground throws a stone with velocity 20 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. It hits the wall of a nearby building at a position 3.0m above the level at which it was thrown. How far is the from the boy? (Two answers are possible. Give both. One represents...
