Thermal Related: Heat Transfer Book?

[ColdFusion85]

I am currently enrolled in a course on Spacecraft Thermal Control, and, in addition to the Satellite Thermal Control Handbook, we are to purchase a book on heat transfer to use as a reference for the course. Does anyone have any recommendations? Listed below are some of the ones the professor listed.

Bejan, A. (1993). Heat Transfer
Chapman, A.J. (1987). Fundamentals of Heat Transfer
Gebhart, B. (1971). Heat Transfer
Jana, W.S. (1986). Engineering Heat Transfer
Holman, J.P. Heat Transfer
Kreith, F. and Bohn, M.S. (1993). Principles of Heat Transfer
Lienhard, J.H. (1987). A Heat Transfer Text Book
Ozsik, M.N. (1985). Heat Transfer - A Basic Approach
White, F.M. (1988). Heat and Mass Transfer
Whitaker, S. (1981). Fundamental Principles of Heat Transfer

I used Holman and "Introduction to heat transfer" / Frank P. Incropera, David P. DeWitt.
They are both good.

I used Holman and "Introduction to heat transfer" / Frank P. Incropera, David P. DeWitt.
They are both good.

I have also found the Incropera/Dewitt text to be an excellent resource for heat transfer.

It's important to note that the fourth edition (released in 2002) has many new applications and empirical approximations that early editions did not have, espcially in the areas of convection and radiation. For this reason, I would try and get the newest version of the text that you can manage.
