| Abstract: | Various models for determination of the temperature dependence of thermal pressure are critically examined in the light of
experimental data. We have considered Mg2SiO4, Olivine, MgAl2O4, Pyrope rich garnet, Fe2SiO4, Grossular garnet, MnO, NaCl and KCl. The superiority of one model over others is discussed. The model is extended to study
the compression behaviour at different temperatures, and the combined effect of pressure and temperature on thermal pressure
of San Carlo Olivine. A good agreement obtained between theory and experiment demonstrates the validity of the present approach. |
