Best Answer

Longitudinal diffusion is much more important in GC that in LC. Longitudinal diffusion is a large contribution to H at low flow rates. The initial decreases in H in plots of plate height vs. flow rate are thus largely the result of longitudinal diffusion.. Because gaseous diffusion coefficients are orders of magnitude larger than liquid values, the phenomenon becomes noticeable at higher flow rates in GC than in LC. The minimum is sometimes not observed at all in LC.
