title: [Gravity-osmotic pressure effect for flat polymeric membranes and three-component non-electrolyte solutions].
abstract: In this paper the classification of the gravitational effects in a passive transmembrane transport is presented. Among these effects there are the flux (flux graviosmotic effect, flux gravidiffusive, current gravielectric effect) and force (pressure graviosmotic effect, pressure gravidiffusive effect, voltage gravielectric effect) gravitational effects. The pressure graviosmotic effect model equation in a single-membrane system is elaborated. In this system the flat, microporous and symmetric polymeric membrane (Nephrophan) positioned horizontally separated water and binary (aqueous glucose) or ternary (glucose-0.2 mole/l) aqueous ethanol) non-electrolyte solutions. The calculations of pressure graviosmotic effects for two (A and B) configurations of the single-membrane system were elaborated. In configuration A solution was placed in compartment below membrane and in configuration B--above membrane. These calculated results are interpreted in terms of the convective instability that increases the diffusive permeability coefficient of complex: boundary layer/membrane/boundary layer.
