Abstract

A detailed asymptotic analysis accounting for wall curvature extends the Brenner-Gaydos formula for the hydrodynamic hindrance factor (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 1977,58,312-356) to terms of order λ2, yielding a new result of the form D/D = (1 − λ)−2 [1 + (9/8) λ In λ − 1.539 λ + C2 λ2 + 0(λ2)], with C2 ≈ 1.2, where λ denotes the ratio of solute to pore radii. The accuracy of approximate formulas for D is assessed definitively by comparison with recent boundary element calculations and experiments.
