MELFI [Minus Eighty degree celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS] est un congélateur/réfrigérateur destiné à la Station spatiale internationale et plus particulièrement aux modules américains (USLab) et japonais (Japanese Experiment Module : JEM). MELFI permet le refroidissement et le stockage d'une large variété d'échantillons (de 2 à 1000 ml) issus des différentes expériences de science de la vie menées à bord de l'ISS [International Space Station]. Le volume de stockage des échantillons est de 300 litres répartis en quatre enceintes froides (dewars) pouvant fonctionner indépendamment et à trois niveaux de température différents (+4 °C, -26 °C et -80 °C). La production de froid est assurée par une machine cryogénique fonctionnant selon le cycle thermodynamique de Brayton [...] Un circuit d'azote permet d'assurer la distribution du froid vers les enceintes froides. 5, record 2, French, - cong%C3%A9lateur%20de%20laboratoire%20%C3%A0%20%2D80%20%C2%B0C

Eddy diffusion broadens the band when passing through the column and detected in the chromatography. This is due to the molecules of the sample traveling through the column along many different paths of different lengths. The shortest path is the front of the band and the longest path is located in the back of the band. This can be corrected if the band is broad and the column support is of small size and uniform. This effect may be described by the van Deemter equation. H=A+(B/u) +Cu. Where M is the flow rate, A is the eddy diffusion term, B/u is the longitudinal diffusion term and Cu is the mass-transfer rate term. The eddy diffusion is independent of the flow-rate and only is concerned by how the column was packed. 1, record 10, English, - eddy%20diffusion%20term
