On the two-domain equations for gas chromatography

Romero, L.A.; Parks, Michael L.

We present an analysis of gas chromatographic columns where the stationary phase is not assumed to be a thin uniform coating along the walls of the cross section. We also give an asymptotic analysis assuming that the parameter {beta} = KD{sup II}{rho}{sup II}/D{sup I}{rho}{sup I} is small. Here K is the partition coefficient, and D{sup i} and {rho}{sup i}, i = I, II are the diffusivity and density in the mobile (i = I) and stationary (i = II) regions.
