18.—A Kinetic Approach to the Irreversible Thermodynamics of Membrane Transport

Synopsis The problem of the simultaneous transport of solute and water through a cell membrane is examined from a kinetic standpoint. It is shown that the results obtained by this approach are in accord with those obtained conventionally by irreversible thermodynamics. Stress is laid on the fact that the kinetic theory has certain advantages over the conventional approach in that it provides, among other things, a form of membrane model and at the same time its range of validity is indicated.
