Energy demand reaches high values with its negative impact on the environment, it presents a considerable danger. For environmental and economic reasons, the main strategic tasks in this area are associated with reducing and minimizing energy consumption. The possible solution is preceded in the development phase by the application of optimization of thermal processes using computer simulation of thermal processes of whole systems. The result is numerical model with sufficiently accurate information that help to verify the accuracy of the proposed procedures and decisions and thus contribute to the efficiency and rationalization of production. New technologies are needed to utilize and use the low potential heat, or other fuel than fossil fuels. Stirling engine, as engine with outer combustion is a possible solution.
