Water Lost Through Breathing, Part 2

In the last post we talked about the water loss from breathing and used the assumptions of exhaled air being at 92 deg F and 90% relative humidity, and inhaled air close to freezing, to develop a constant to estimate the water loss per hour for any breathing rate. This time, we’ll look at the effect of temperature and relative humidity and elevation on that constant.
