I found the Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Heat Transfer, 2nd Ed. a helpful addition to my small collection of radiation heat transfer references. It has a unique worked example of the direct conversion from an Oppenheim radiosity network (RC analogy) to a radiation exchange factor (script-F) network.

I cannot comment on the conduction or convection sections because I have not yet used them.

It is what I expected. Heat Transfer all in one reference.

Clearly written more for chemical engineers, as a physicist I have still found myself going back many times over to the 1st. ed., and now to the improved 2nd. ed.. The book contains an ample collection of tables of thermal properties for many materials. The theoretical coverage of conduction, convection and radiation is excellent, and the example problems have a practical nature to them.
