Within the framework of an international benchmark test we have performed measurements of the transport coefficients S_T (Soret coefficient), D (mutual diffusion coefficient) and D_T (thermal diffusion coefficient) on the three binary organic liquid mixtures 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-n-dodecane, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-isobutylbenzene and isobutylbenzene-n-dodecane with the weight fraction c = 0.5 at T = 298.15 K by means of thermal-diffusion-forced Rayleigh scattering (TDFRS) for benchmarking purposes. Our results for the coefficients are in good agreement with those obtained by annular and parallelepipedic thermogravitational columns and by other benchmark tests which also apply TDFRS measurements.
