Scientific paper

The temperature profile of planetary interiors is an important item of information, because many thermodynamic or geodynamic investigations of a planet's interior require an estimate of the temperature profile. Modeling studies of the thermal history or convective processes focus in detail on the thermal profile of the planet. A description is presented of results which show how the present (or equilibrium) interior temperature profile is related to certain constraints placed on the planet, especially the physical properties of the mantle material. These properties depend upon a priori assumptions of chemical composition. The investigation is mainly concerned with experimental and theoretical data appropriate to mantle minerals, in order to justify the use of a simple equation-of-state for planet interiors. It is found that anharmonicity does not seem to be required for calculations of interior properties of the terrestrial planets.
