Concentration polarization is the accumulation of rejected solutes at the membrane surface, creating a boundary layer that opposes solvent flow. This model uses film theory to estimate the maximum throughput (limiting flux) based on the mass-transfer coefficient and the concentration gradient between the bulk fluid and the membrane wall.
