[edit] Comments
For those who are interested and have time: the german wikipedia has a good page about the Van Deemster equation.
The Van Deemter equation is highly used in HPLC to improve effiicency. I'll try to clean up the article, I think there's something on this at my website [1] -PaulHurleyuk 10:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
The first sentence is very confusing. There was no mention of HETP, which is what van Deemter originally used. Also, the C term in the equation I've always known as representing mass transfer kinetics. Katze015 17:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Another technical thing I thought of, I dont think that van is capitalized in van Deemter. I may be wrong. Katze015 18:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- The term "flow rate" is incorrect. It should be "linear velocity". changed on 25 Oct 2007 --Xenofonos 19:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] van Deemter plot figure is wrong
The way this article depicts the van Deemter figure is wrong. It confuses the longitudinal diffusion piece (B/u) with the resulting sum of all the terms. As soon as I figure out how to edit stuff in this language I'll try to fix that.
