“…where C A is solute concentration in the resin interstices, t is time, 1 R is external void fraction of the chromatographic media, C RA is the overall concentration of solute in the resin, r is radius, D Ar and D Au are the radial and angular dispersion coefficients respectively, u is angle in radians, Q is flowrate in the radial direction, and A r is radial column area perpendicular to flow direction (Gu et al, 1991;Tsaur and Shallcross, 1997). Assumptions implicit in this equation are that the annulus is uniformly packed and liquid and solid phases are incompressible, velocity is constant with height (axial) and angular position, concentration is constant with height so axial dispersion is negligible, and temperature is constant throughout.…”
