In situ X-ray diffraction measurements of Fe- and Al-bearing MgSiO3-rich perovskite (FeAl-Pv), which was synthesized from a natural orthopyroxene, were performed at pressures of 19 - 32 GPa and temperatures of 300 - 1,500 K using a combination of a Kawai-type apparatus with eight sintered-diamond anvils and synchrotron radiation. Two runs were performed using a high-pressure cell with two sample chambers, and both MgSiO3 perovskite (Mg-Pv) and FeAl-Pv were synthesized simultaneously in the same cell. Thus we were able to measure specific volumes (V/V-0) of Mg-Pv and FeAl-Pv at the same P - T conditions. At all the measurement conditions, values of the specific volume of FeAl-Pv are consistent with those of Mg-Pv within 2 Standard Deviation, strongly suggesting that effect of incorporation of iron and aluminum on the thermoelastic properties of magnesium silicate perovskite is undetectable in this composition, pressure, and temperature range. Two additional runs were performed using a high-pressure cell that has one sample chamber and unit-cell volumes of FeAl-Pv were measured at pressures and temperatures up to 32 GPa and 1,500 K, respectively. All the unit-cell volume data of FeAl-Pv perovskite were fitted to the high temperature Birch - Murnaghan equation of state and a complete set of thermoelastic parameters of this perovskite was determined with an assumption of K'(300,0) = 4. The determined parameters are K-300,K-0 = 243( 3) GPa, (partial derivative K-T,K- 0/partial derivative T)(P) = - 0.030( 8) GPa/ K, a(0) = 2.78( 18) x 10(-5) K-1, and b(0) = 0.88( 28) x 10(-8) K-2, where a0 and b0 are the coefficients of the following expression describing the zero-pressure thermal expansion: alpha(T,0) = a(0) + b(0)T. The equation-of-state parameters of FeAl-Pv are in good agreement with those of MgSiO3 perovskite at the conditions corresponding to the uppermost part of the lower mantle.
