  • Experimental validation using varying coil lengths, sample volumes, and flow rates.
  • Estimation of empirical dispersion coefficients (D*) and temporal shifts (Phi*) from experimental data.

    • Main Results:

    • The model successfully simulates temporal peak shapes in FIA.
    • An empirical dispersion coefficient (D*) is related to peak parameters (tp*, h*, At*).
    • Dispersion coefficient shows a quadratic dependence on flow rate (Q), D*(Q)=δ₀+δ₁Q+δ₂Q², with an optimal flow rate Qopt=√(δ₀/δ₂).
    • This model explains the observed 'Nike-swoosh' peak height vs. flow rate relationship.

    Conclusions:

    • The dispersion-convolution model provides an accurate simulation of FIA peak shapes.
    • Temporal distortion is identified as the dominant factor causing peak asymmetry in FIA.
    • The model offers insights into optimizing FIA system parameters for improved analytical performance.
