Abstract
A kinetic equation is set up for a system of particles interacting with nonadditive intermolecular forces. Bogolyubov's functional assumption is used. After linearizing in the gradients, the kinetic equation is solved by a Chapman-Enskog method. Using the expressions for the stress tensor and heat current obtained in an earlier paper, the contributions of nonadditive forces to the shear and bulk viscosities and thermal conductivity are explicitly obtained. The results obtained are independent of density expansions.
