An evaluation of published data on the thermal conductivity o f aqueous NaCl solutions is presented. The literature was screened from 1929 through 1979, and the evaluated data were tabulated. The data were converted where necessary t o a set of internally consistent units of "C, watts/m-"C and molal concentrations. An empirical correlation equation with an average deviation of 52% is given for the thermal conductivity of aqueous NaCl solutions from 20°C to 330°C at saturation pressures. A table of smoothed values generated using this correlation equation is provided for NaCl concentrations between 0 and 5 molal over this temperature range.
