Prior research investigated system-level factors, but the nanoscale mechanisms that drive ion and water penetration across membranes were poorly understood. This study closed a research gap by investigating the influence of carbon nanotube membrane thickness on particle mobility and fluid dynamics in reverse electrodialysis systems. The research is contributed to the enhancement of energy conversion efficiency and membrane performance in reverse electrodialysis systems by offering a comprehensive understanding of the influence of channel thickness on particle transport and selectivity through the carbon nanotube membrane.

The convection process and non-uniform stream velocity at the centre of these particular channels have developed the fluid motion, whereas, the diffusion of heat and behavior of flow in the whole channel is examined by considering the different thermal and dynamical situations in the flow domain. Both walls of this channel are heated and have uniform temperatures, however, temperature distribution is significantly changed in the flow regime with the variation of thermal and geometrical characteristics. The problem is formulated in terms of two-dimensional continuity and Navier-Stokes equations in a rectangular coordinate system. The leading equations, i.e., PDEs and the associated boundary condition (BCs), are converted into a set of ODEs with the help of proper similarity transformation. Asymptotic (perturbation) and numerical (bvp4c package) procedures are employed to solve the resulting problem. The perturbation technique is applicable for small parameter values and these ranges of dimensionless numbers meet the criteria of convergent series solutions for the problem in hand, whereas, the numerical method provides solutions across a widespread range of governing constraints in the problem. Remember that the final equations are equipped with a slope for the upper wall of the channel, Reynolds number, Prandtl number, and two components of Grashof number.
