ABSTRACT
Applying the recently introduced patchwork model for porous media, we present a new step forward in the modelling of eddy dispersion in chromatographic columns. The logarithmic law describing the velocity dependency emerging from this patchwork model is supplemented with a retention factor dependency via first principles modelling of the variations in flow resistance and retention capacity caused by the packing disorder. Furthermore, it is shown the derived expression is also able to fit the eddy dispersion originating from the wall effect on the packing. When applied to literature data of eddy dispersion, the newly introduced logarithmic law has a goodness of fit that is at least equal to that of Knox' empirical power law (R2>0.98). The main difference is that, whereas Knox' power law requires a separate fit for each component due to the retention factor dependency, the present model simultaneously fits all plate height curves measured on one chromatographic column, using only two parameters with a clear physical meaning.
