Capacity Factor given Retention Time and Mobile Phase Travel Time Formula Elements

Variables
Capacity Factor of the Compound
The Capacity factor of the Compound is directly proportional to the retention factor. The longer a component is retained by the column, the greater is the capacity factor.
Symbol: k'compound
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Retention Time
The Retention Time of solute is defined as the time taken by the solute to move over the stationary phase and to come out of the column.
Symbol: tr
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Unretained Solute Travel Time
The Unretained Solute Travel Time is the time taken by the mobile phase to move over the length of the column.
Symbol: tm
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
