Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The first term, Psd, is the net force caused by the attraction between solute atoms and the interface. It is called solute drag because it is the force by which the migrating interface drags a local segregation of solute atoms with it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemofiltration removes solutes by convective mass transfer down a hydrostatic pressure gradient [24, 25]. As plasma water passes through the hemofilter membrane, solute is carried along by solvent drag. Convective mass transfer thus mimics the process of glomerular filtration.
