Performance of gamma type low temperature differential Stirling Engine powered by steam

The main objectives of this paper is to study the performance of gamma type low temperature differential Stirling Engine. The engine is tested with 100 °C steams as a heat source. The maximum rotational speed achieved by the Stirling engine without any load is 105 rpm and the maximum load carried by the Stirling engine is 0.44 N. The maximum power produced is 0.01024 W and the maximum efficiency is 0.05 % with a temperature difference of 70 °C.
