Abstract: The present paper deals with the analysis of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid over a stretching sheet with the effect of non-uniform heat source/sink. Here we consider two types of heating processes namely (i) prescribed surface temperature and (ii) prescribed surface heat flux. The momentum and thermal boundary layer equations of motion are solved numerically using Runge Kutta Fehlberg fourth–fifth order method (RKF45 Method). The effects of fluid particle interaction parameter, Eckert number, Prandtl number, Number of dust particle and non-uniform heat generation/absorption parameter on temperature distribution are analyzed and also the effect of wall temperature gradient function and wall temperature function are tabulated and discussed.

• A unified formation of correlation is proposed to reveal the film boiling properties. • Critical diameter to distinguish cylinder and wire conditions is introduced. • A correlation for film boiling heat transfer at plate heaters is proposed. In the present paper, available experimental data and predictive correlations on cryogenic film boiling heat transfer are summarized and analyzed. A unified correlation formation, which could standardize the most of the existing heat transfer correlations, is used to perform comparison studies, and a series of validated correlations focusing on predicting cryogenic boiling events are reached. It demonstrates that Merte & Clark correlation and Bromley correlation are recommended to predict cryogenic film boiling heat flux at spherical and horizontal tube heaters respectively, and the deviations are within ±15% and ±8%. A preliminary data analysis indicates that Laplace reference length could be regarded as a critical diameter to distinguish tube and wire conditions. Moreover, a unified correlation without considering surface orientation effect is proposed to account for the plate heater boiling issue in the view of engineering application, and the deviations are within ±40%. Generally, the present study could provide researchers with reliable research tools to conduct cryogenic heat transfer analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
