Abstract A predictive method designed to obtain the thermal conductivities of one-component dense fluids is described. This method is based on the revised Enskog theory. Here, an effective state-dependent hard-sphere diameter is used to obtain the hard-sphere diameter needed by the revised Enskog theory in order to deal with actual fluids. In addition, we introduce the contribution of the internal degrees of freedom through the Mason-Monchick procedure. Our predictions for noble gases and hydrocarbons, at high density, are compared with predictions coming from the conformal solution model, with empirical correlation schemes, and with experimental data. A very satisfactory agreement is found.
