Undergraduate textbooks on heat engines

Could anyone suggest a book on heat engines at undergraduate level?

The best reference I can give you is the book of J.B. Heywood:

"Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals"

It is very large, and covers a lot of topics, but is taken as a Coran as far as heat engines are concerned.

Yes, there are several books that are suitable for undergraduate students studying heat engines. Some popular options include "Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach" by Yunus A. Çengel and Michael A. Boles, "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Michael J. Moran, Howard N. Shapiro, et al., and "Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications" by Elias P. Gyftopoulos and Gian Paolo Beretta. These books cover the basic principles and applications of heat engines, and are often used in undergraduate courses. It's always a good idea to check with your professor or academic advisor for their recommended reading list.
