  We present a theoretical study of the Kadowaki-Woods relation in the
orbitally degenerate periodic Anderson model. Based on Fermi liquid theory, we
derive the generalized Kadowaki-Woods relation in the strong coupling limit,
$A\gamma^{-2} \approx 10^{-5} N(N-1)/2$ [\mu\Omega cm(mol K/mJ)^2], where $A$
is the coefficient of the $T^2$ term in the resistivity, $\gamma$ is the
$T$-linear specific heat coefficient, and $N$ is the $f$-orbital degeneracy.
This result naturally explains the remarkably smaller value of $A\gamma^{-2}$
in various orbitally degenerate (mainly Yb-based) heavy Fermion systems,
reported by Tsujii et al.: J. Phys. Cond. Mat. 15 (2003) 1993.
