Abstract
We have generalized the pressure–volume (P–V) relationships using simple polynomial and logarithmic expansions so as to make them consistent with the infinite pressure extrapolation according to the model of Stacey. The formulations are used to evaluate P–V relationships and pressure derivatives of bulk modulus upto third order ( K′, K″ and K‴) for the earth core material taking input parameters based on the seismological data. The results based on the equations of state (EOS) generalized in the present study are found to yield good agreement with the Stacey EOS. The generalized logarithmic EOS due to Poirier and Tarantola deviates substantially from the seismic values for P, K and K′. The generalized Rydberg EOS gives almost identical results with the Birch—Murnaghan third-order EOS. Both of them yield deviations from the seismic data, which are in opposite direction as compared to those found from the generalized Poirier–Tarantola logarithmic EOS.
