We present a complete set of easily programmable computer algorithms, and a set of numerical tables, for the thermal conductivities of the nine gases: N2, O2, NO, CO, CO2, N2O, CH4, CF4, and SF6. This complements our earlier corresponding‐states work on the equilibrium and transport properties of these gases [J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 1 6, 445 (1987); 1 7, 255 (1988)]. The results embrace the temperature range from T*=k T/ε=1 up to a nominal upper limit of 3000 K. The accuracy achieved is specified, and the correlation can be used in a predictive mode.
