When a liquid is in contact with a surface maintained at a temperature above the saturation temperature of the liquid, boiling will eventually occur at that liquid-solid interface. Conventionally, based on the relative bulk motion of the body of a liquid to the heating surface, the boiling is divided into two categories; pool boiling and convective boiling. Boiling is a very effective and efficient mode of heat transfer, and it is encountered in various engineering applications.

In the present paper, We use the rescaled range(R/S) analysis to estimate the Hurst exponent of PM10 data of Chennai region. The Hurst exponent, H, is a self-similarity parameter that measures the long-range dependence in a time series, and provides a measure of long-term nonlinearity. It is found that the behaviour of PM10 aerosol of Chennai is persistent as the value of Hurst Exponent for various regions in Chennai is found to be ppersistent. The trend analysis of PM10 using Mankendall showed trend in all the regions other than Adayar. region of Chennai.
