So: 
C = Ci + — ( 4 - 14 ) 
m 
With the units transfer: 
P = 0.7598 x 0.00 1 x 6 x (4.15) 
W m 
where: 
P Ammonia generation rate, g/hr/lOOg of mice. 
C Ammonia concentration in the calorimeter, ppm. 
Ci Ammonia concentration in the chamber, ppm. 
m Fresh air flow rate, L/min. 
W m Mice weight in one calorimeter, g. 
Using the same general equation to calculate carbon dioxide generation rate and consumption 
rate of O 2 . 
P = 1.964 x 60 x 
(C-Ci)xm 
W„ 
(4.16) 
where: 
P Carbon dioxide generation rate or oxygen consumption rate, g/hr/lOOg of 
mice. 
C Carbon dioxide concentration in the calorimeter, percent. 
Ci Carbon dioxide concentration in the chamber, percent. 
1L CO 2 = 1.964 g, 1L NH3 = 0.7598 g, 1-mole = 22.414 liters of volume, and mole weight of 
NH 3 = 17.03.
