Van Deemter Equation - Expanded Van Deemter

Expanded Van Deemter

The Van Deemter equation can be further expanded to:

Where:

  • H is plate height
  • λ is particle shape (with regard to the packing)
  • dp is particle diameter
  • G, ω, and R are constants
  • Dm is the diffusion coefficient of the mobile phase
  • dc is the capillary diameter
  • df is the film thickness
  • Ds is the diffusion coefficient of the stationary phase.

Van Deemter's equation indicates that band broadening mechanisms are proportionally dependent on flow rate, inversely proportional to flow rate and independent of flow rate.

Famous quotes containing the words expanded and/or van:

    The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    For him nor deep nor hill there is,
    But all’s one level plain he hunts for flowers.
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
