Abstract
The paper reports new measurements of the thermal conductivity of carbon tetrachloride in the temperature range 310 to 364 K at pressures up to 0.22 GPa. The experimental data have an estimated uncertainty to ±0.3%. The hard-sphere theory of transport in dense fluids is employed to formulate a correlation scheme for the thermal conductivity as a function of density. A single equation represents the dependence of the thermal conductivity on density for all isotherms, the isotherms being distinguished by a characteristic value of the molar volume. It is shown that earlier measurements of the viscosity and self-diffusion coefficient of carbon tetrachloride may be represented in a similar fashion using consistent values of the characteristic volume.
