Abstract New experimental data on the thermal conductivity of 14 organic liquids at atmospheric pressure are presented in the temperature range from 25 to 100°C. The liquids measured are five n-alkanes (C6, C7, C8, C10, C12), cyclohexane, six aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, ethylbenzene, o-, m-, p-xylenes, isopropylbenzene) and two phenyl halides (chloro-, bromobenzenes). The measurements were performed by a transient hot-wire method on a relative basis. The thermal conductivity of toluene, which was selected as a reference liquid, was determined on an absolute basis with another transient apparatus. The precision of the present experimental results is within ±1.2%. The uncertainty of the thermal conductivity values is estimated to be within ±2%; this includes the uncertainty of the values of toluene as the reference liquid. The experimental results for each liquid are represented satisfactorily by a linear equation in temperature. At a reduced temperature T/T c=0.5, thermal conductivity has a simple relation with the molar density for each homologous series of liquids.
