Optimized Open Tubular Columns for GC

In a similar manner to the optimization of an LC column, in order to obtain numeric values for the optimized parameters, it is necessary to define a given separation and the equipment and materials by which the sample is to be analyzed. The data given in Table 2 are for a general GC separation using an open tubular column. 

Capacity Ratio (first eluted peak of the Critical Pair) (k ) 2.5 

Inlet Pressure (P) 30 p.s.i. s 3 atmospheres absolute s 3.039 x 10 dynes/sq. cm Inlet/Outlet Pressure Ratio (y) 3.0 

In this optimization procedure those equations derived in chapter 13 will then be used with the data provided in Table 2.
