Abstract

This paper presents the physical interpretation of phenomenologicalcoefficients of transmembrane transport for single and neutral membrane andmulticomponent non-ionic solutions. In the framework of this model theexpressions linking the permeability parameters of the membrane(Lp, σ, ωik) with friction coefficients(fik) for n-component, binary and ternary solutions and themethod of calculation of friction coefficients for binary and ternarynon-electrolytes are also presented.
