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:

    One could love reason like an Encyclopaedist and still be favorably inclined toward mysticism. Throughout the ages, up to the eyes of van Gogh, when he looked at a coffee pot or a garden path, mysticism has expanded the human realm by all sorts of threshold experiences.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    I please
    To plant some more dew-wet anemones
    That they may weep.
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
