In this paper, the thermal equation of state (EOS) of (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3is computed by Birch-Murnaghan and Mie-Grüneisen-Debye equations and the related parameters are also analyzed. The value of and has little effect on EOS of (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3perovskite. The effect of EOS of (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3perovskite is mainly from the temperature under high pressure. The temperature is higher; the deviation of EOS relative to the PREM model is bigger. The thermal EOS complies with PREM model at T=2000K. The thermal pressure of (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3perovskite a constant only related to temperature at the lower mantle conditions. At the same time, the EOS of (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3perovskite is insensitive to the data of and at T=2000K, but when and the thermal EOS is more agreement with PREM model. That is to say, when the value of the and is in the range of 253~273 GPa and 3.69~4.23, (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3is the perovskite phase, and (Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3perovskite structure remains stable at the mantle conditions.

A modified Rydberg–Vinet equation-of-state (mRV EOS) with an arbitrary nonzero-pressure reference point, as is derived strictly from the related Rydberg potential, has been applied to the mantle and the core. The tests and comparisons demonstrate that mRV EOS is superior to the reciprocal [Formula: see text]-primed equation [see F. D. Stacey and P. M. Davis, Phys. Earth Planet. Inter. 142 (2004) 137] not only because of its higher fitting accuracy but also because it has fewer fitting parameters and is easier to use.
