Temperature regulation in animals
Abstract
We have studied the rate of evaporation of sweat for the body of human of two different surface areas at different temperatures. We have also studied the rate of evaporation of sweat at different values of heat produced by chemical metabolism. It is found that a thin man perspires at lower temperature than a fat man when they both produce the same heat by chemical metabolism.
