An evaluation of published data on the thermal conductivity of 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 to a set of internally consistent units of °C, watts/m-°C and molal concentrations. An empirical correlation equation with an average deviation of +-2% 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.
