As reported by https://github.com/modelica/ModelicaStandardLibrary/runs/5262352623?check_suite_focus=true the reference to academia.edu for "J. P. Holman, Heat Transfer, 10th edition, McGraw-Hill, 2010" is broken.

I tried to find a homepage for the book on the publisher's site, but that seems to be impossible(?). The ISBN is 978-007-126769-4, maybe it makes sense to include that instead of a link of limited lifetime. I have it on my desk if you need any more info.

Yes, we should simply remove that link.

Btw, I downloaded this PDF when it still was available.

I didn't find the book at the publisher's site, too. It seems that you can only buy it second hand. Maybe due to that fact non-permanent links to (non-authorized?) pdfs are published from time to time.
Two solutions: Remove the link and replace it by mentoning the ISBN or searching for a newer text book covering that topic.

Looking around I found that the "new" link is https://www.academia.edu/6340170/Heat_Transfer_J_P_Holman_Ed_10 but here you need to login and also need to be careful to not sign up for some subscription (which is not needed but needs to be declined). Since I found the link simply by googling it I'd say other normal users would be able to do the same. So the information of title, author, ISBN should be sufficient without any link.
