Abstract
The thermal conductivity of a rigid benzene-like model fluid is evaluated using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics algorithm of Evans, and Evans and Murad. The contribution to the conductivity from rotational degrees of freedom is shown to be significant and density dependent. These contributions are contrasted with those of a homonuclear diatomic fluid, investigated previously. The results are compared with the conductivity of benzene evaluated along the critical isochore by the semi empirical routine Supertrapp (STRAPP). The enhancement of the conductivity near the critical point is not discussed.
