OrgMassSpecR (version 0.5-4)

FlowTime: Solvent transit time.

Description

Calculate the time required for a liquid to flow through a defined length of tubing. Intended for conventional-flow or nano-flow liquid chromatography.

Usage

FlowTime(internalDiameterMicrometers = 24, tubingLengthCentimeters = 45, 
                flowRateMicrolitersPerMinute = 0.3)

Value

Vector of the flow time in seconds.

Arguments

internalDiameterMicrometers

the internal diameter of the tubing, in micrometers; numeric value.

tubingLengthCentimeters

the length of tubing, in centimeters; numeric value.

flowRateMicrolitersPerMinute

the flow rate of the solvent in microliters per minute; numeric value

Author

Nathan G. Dodder

Details

The calculation assumes the viscosity of the liquid is negligible.
