Classical molecular dynamics simulation calculations of silver bromide, AgBr, and silver chloride, AgCl. in constant volume–energy (NVE) and constant pressure–temperature (NPT) ensembles have been performed. The temperature dependence of linear thermal expansion and molar heat capacities at constant volume and pressure have been presented at solid and liquid phases. The anomalous behavior of these properties about 200 K below the melting temperatures has been analyzed within the frame of the onset of the transition to the superionic phase.

When a gas enclosed in a cavity is heated or cooled, its pressure changes with its temperature as well. If a set of two countermoving “driven” cavity cascades employs the same free wall, then the system will operate as a countercurrent heat exchanger. At the exit points of the heat exchanger the two gases can be brought back to their original (atmospheric) pressure by isentropic processes thus producing useful work. The entire set of thermodynamic processes forms a double Lenoir cycle. The exhausts from the two Lenoir cycles may drive two more sets of corresponding cycles, thus allowing for the cascading of the process, until the added useful work becomes insignificant. When this idea is employed as a bottoming cycle in a Gas Turbine lead Combined cycle, employing four sets of Lenoir cycles, the achievable total thermal efficiencies rise to the 75 to 82 % level, athough the amount of heat transferred in all these processes is about 50 % more than that in a modern Brayton-Rankine combined cycle.

The First Law of Thermodynamics, and how the First Law relates a change in a state function, internal energy, to changes in the path functions work and heat. Thermodynamic cycles. Heat capacities at constant volume, and the definition CV = (∂U/∂T)V. Mathematics of internal energy. Examples of the application of the First Law to isothermal, isobaric, isochoric and adiabatic changes. Reversible and irreversible paths. Mixing and friction as irreversible processes. Proof that that any path involving friction (or any other dissipative process) must be irreversible, implying that all real paths are irreversible.

The possibilities were verified of the proposed method for calculating the difference between constant-volume heat capacities of liquids and gases in the ideal state from known data on the volumetric behaviour and temperature dependence of heats of vaporization of pure substances.
