Books Design Heat Heat transfer Machine Machine design

In summary, there are several recommended books for learning about machine design and heat transfer, including "Machine Design" by Robert L. Norton, "Heat Transfer" by J.P. Holman, "Machine Elements in Mechanical Design" by Mott and Vavrek, "Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer" by Theodore L. Bergman, and "Applied Heat Transfer" by V. Ganapathy. Additionally, there are books that specifically focus on practical applications and case studies, such as "Design of Machine Elements" by V. B. Bhandari and "Applied Heat Transfer for Engineers" by Keith E. Herold. Some books also cover both topics together, such as "Machine Design with Heat Transfer Applications" by T

Norton's book on Machine is a very good book.

Thanks
Matt
