Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around recommendations for graduate-level heat transfer textbooks, specifically focusing on the areas of conduction, convection, and radiation. Participants share their familiarity with undergraduate texts and seek guidance on suitable advanced literature.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests recommendations for graduate-level heat transfer books, noting their familiarity with undergraduate texts.
- Another participant suggests separate books for each area of heat transfer: "Heat Conduction" by Necati Ozisik for conduction, "Convective Heat and Mass Transfer" by Kays for convection, and "Radiative Heat Transfer" by Modest for radiation.
- A different participant recommends "Heat Transfer" by A. E. Mills as a suitable graduate-level text that serves as a bridge between undergraduate and more specialized graduate courses.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the need for specialized texts for different areas of heat transfer, but there are multiple recommendations without a consensus on a single preferred book.
Contextual Notes
Participants do not discuss specific features or limitations of the recommended books, nor do they address any assumptions about the reader's background or specific needs.
