I've noticed most convective heat transfer coefficients are given to us in the problem statements, as well as several thermal conductivity values. I can't pinpoint a solid table in the MERM for Thermal Conductivity values per material. I'm wondering if anyone else has found a nice PDF online, or has other suggestions for quick reference.

 
The MERM (13ed) has a small list of k values at 32F in the appendix, A-110. There’s also some insulation-specific k values for varying temps on 34-11. It’s been enough to get me through any practice questions, though I’m sure there are more comprehensive lists out there. 

 
Yeah, you're going to want a different reference for that.  I used my Heat Transfer undergrad text.
