Abstract
The experimentally verified hydrodynamic approach to a description of diffusive and convective flow of solute across mutual membrane pathways is compared with the phenomenological equation resulting from the application of irreversible thermodynamics. Inherent nonlinearities in this equation severely, if not absolutely, limit its usefulness.Keywords
