Abstract
In the present paper a new model for the transport through membranes, introduced previously by Hosur, is considered. In this model, the membrane is assimilated to a potential barrier, and the material flow through the membrane is determined from the transmission coefficient of the barrier, assuming the existence of an energy difference among the molecules placed at both sides of the membrane. An equation for the transport, in the case of small energy differences, is obtained, which is particularized to the cases that the energy difference is caused by a temperature gradient, a concentration gradient, and both gradients acting together. In all cases, under certain limitations, formally identical equations to those of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes are obtained.

A general model of transport of gases in solid nanoporous membranes was established. The model was developed based on Dusty Gas Model (DGM), solution diffusion and surface diffusion. As a result, solutions of the model for different transport conditions were derived. In this investigation, parameter
