An apparatus based on the transient short-hot-wiremethod was constructed for obtaining the thermal conductivity of fluids. The apparatus was verified by using toluene before the experiment. Thermal conductivity of the liquid n-pentadecane (C15H32) was acquired in this paper. The temperature range of the experimental system is from 317 K to 577 K, and pressure range is from 1MPa to 20 MPa. Thermal conductivities of n-pentadecane were correlated as a function of temperature and pressure. And the absolute average deviation and maximum deviation of experimental data from values calculated by polynomial are 1.23 % and 5.34 %, respectively. The uncertainty of thermal conductivity over all measurements is less than 2 %. At last, the thermal conductivities of n-pentadecane in this work were compared with the literature data.
