To provide the electricity in the region, the small generator set is needed. However, the usage of the diesel fueled engine in the generator set is predicted to be more difficult in the future due to the fossil fuel price and rareness. The Stirling Engine offers the solution for such problem since it is able to utilize various type of fuel as energy sources. In this research, the further study was conducted on the performance of the 200-Watt Stirling engine’s furnace to provide the heat source. The type of furnace used in the stirling engine system is called Rocket Stove. The fuel used in this research was bamboo as one of the biomasses with enormous potential in the country. The numerical simulation was conducted to estimate the mass flow rate of the fuel. The experiment was conducted to obtain the rocket stove temperature distribution. Evaluation was then conducted to analyze the performance of the heat exchanger absorbing the heat of the flue gas. The results obtained from this research were the fuel rate required to produce sufficient heat to meet the heat requirement of Stirling Engine was 3.28 kg/h in bamboo and 1.43 kg/h in LPG. The average temperature distribution before the Heat Exchanger reached 788 with the standard deviation of 61 °C on the bamboo and the average temperature distribution before the Heat Exchanger reached 725 °C with the standard deviation of 3 °C on LPG. The effectiveness of heat exchanger used is 68%.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5046633[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
