Good book?

[peteswift]

I am looking for a definitive text on heat transfer preferably one that covers the theoretical and the practical particularly for cooling of motor, gear boxes etc. I have tried various University texts however they seem to cover the theory and get you through the exam! I have been recommended:-

Handbook of Heat Transfer by Warren M. Rohsenow (Editor), James P. Hartnett (Editor), Young I. Cho

1 Does anyone know if is written in metric or imperial units?
2 Is it any good?
3 Or has any one got any better suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
