[Elbobo]

This is an extremely good intro book on heat transfer. I sorely wish my other intro textbooks were as comprehensive, elucidating, detailed and accessible as this book. Good for newcomers to heat transfer or those who just want a quick review of core concepts. Numerical methods are lightly touched however.

I used the 4th edition in college. I liked it but I don't use it much because it only uses the metric unit system.

Good introductory book on heat transfer. The chapter on heat exchangers is excellent as a first exposure to the topic.
