Using Zubarev's theory of the operator, nonequilibrium linear quasithermodynamics is presented. Laws connecting generalized fluxes with generalized forces are formulated. The components of the kinetic transfer coefficients are determined. These are rank 0-4 tensors.
## Abstract Membranes are structures whose lipid and protein components are at, or close to, equilibrium in the plane of the membrane, but are not at equilibrium across the membrane. The thermodynamic tendency of ionic and highly polar molecules to be in contact with water rather than with nonpolar
