Abstract
A system and method for determining adiabatic stress derivative of temperature for rocks under water. The system includes three pressure vessels disposed in seawater. A data collecting unit is in the first pressure vessel. A rock sample is in a first chamber of the second pressure vessel. A temperature sensor is in each of the center of the rock, the surface of the rock sample, and the first chamber. A pressure sensor is also in the first chamber. Outputs of the temperature sensors and the pressure sensor are communicated with inputs of the data collecting unit. A first drain valve is provided on the second pressure vessel and communicated with the first chamber. A second drain valve is provided between the second pressure vessel and the third pressure vessel, and communicated with the first chamber and the second chamber.
