ShareComparative mathematical analyses of freezing in lung and solid tissue.

Type of article: Article
Summary
A comparison of the cooling rates of these tissues is presented. At the microscopic level ultrarapid solidification is more rapid in the subpleural region of the lung than in the same region of solid tissue. In this region, the air insulates the lung tissue and prevents transfer of heat from surrounding regions. Cooling rates on the order of 1 million K/second can be achieved in the pleura and outermost alveolar wall because their aggregate thickness is less than 5 micrometerss in the rat.
