The thermal conductivity λ and the thermal diffusivity a of liquid rubidium were measured by the laser flash method in the temperature interval from the melting point up to 873 K. The measurement error was 4–6%. The data of this paper were compared with the results of other authors. Approximation equations and the table of reference values for the temperature dependence of λ and a have been obtained. The dependence of the Lorentz number on temperature has been calculated.
