Preferred Label : efficiency of nebulization;
Detailed label : efficiency of nebulization in flame spectrometry, ɛn;
IUPAC definition : The substance fraction of component entering the flame in the amount of component
consumed. The efficiency of nebulization is related to the amount of component and
not to the amount of solvent. It cannot be calculated directly from the ratio: volume
rate of sample drained from the spray chamber divided by volume rate of fluid consumed.
Corrections usually have to be made to take account of differences in component concentrations
in the drained and consumed solutions, respectively, because of evaporation of some
solvent from mist droplets deposited on the walls.;
