An oscillating steam engine has been expected as a low cost and efficient energy conversion system at a low operating temperature. In this study,we numerically investigate the oscillating steam engine . It was found, when the total volume of the engine is 4.5cc and hot section is 60mm , it can produce 18.9w. This result is able to reproduce the output of previous research. Then we investigated the change in output when changing the temperature of the heating section. Result of the calculation, the output increased as to increase the temperature of the heating section.
