Nomenclature A = cross-sectional area of electrophoresis or extraction chamber A M = surface area of separand molecule of particle a -particle radius B = constant of proportionality for partition coefficient b = half thickness of FFE chamber b tj = monomer interaction coefficients C(x) = concentration of density solute in density gradient C f = concentration of the ith solute C fj = osmotic virial coefficient c = concentration of solute D = diffusion coefficient E = electric field strength e = charge on the electron g = acceleration of Earth's gravity Hj = Hjerten number 7 = electric current J t = flow of ith substance K = dissociation constant k = electrical conductivity k,l = coordinates of the sample zone center in horizontal rotation k B -Boltzmann constant L = number of species M = molecular weight m = dimensionless molality N = number of monomers per polymer molecule
