Cooling by drinking water and by sweating + evaporating
Not what you're looking for?
Compare the amount of cooling experienced by an individual who drinks 400mL of water (0 degrees C) with the amount of cooling experienced by an individual who sweats out 400 mL of water at 37 degrees Celsius. Assume all sweat evaporates. The density of water is 1.00 g/mL; the specific heat of water is 4.18J/g degrees C; the heat of vaporization of water is 2.41kJ at 37 degrees C.
