ESDU 02002 contains tabulated data for eleven aromatic alcohols@ three aromatic chlorophenols@ three aromatic ethers@ twelve aromatic esters@ benzaldehyde and acetophenone. Experimental results drawn from the literature for each pure compound were fitted with a four-term polynomial equation in reduced temperature. The coefficients were also faired with changing molecular structure to ensure the best correlation not only for the individual compounds but also for them as members of their chemical series. The coefficient correlations also allowed values to be predicted for pure compounds for which no measured data exist. The equations were used to tabulate thermal conductivity values from close to the melting point to about 0.9 of the critical temperature in SI units at 10 K and 10 degree Celsius intervals. The likely uncertainties in the values presented are indicated in the text. The critical temperature@ coefficients and sources of the data are given for each compound. The effect of pressure is briefly considered.
