Abstract
The generalized Enskog equation, introduced by the authors in a previous paper, is solved and expressions for the transport coefficients are obtained. The method of solution is similar to the Chap‐man‐Enskog technique. First density corrections are obtained for the coefficients of shear viscosity, and thermal conductivity; and the first term in the density expansion of the bulk viscosity is also obtained. These density effects differ from those previously given by Snider and Curtiss in the inclusion of three‐body collision effects. The coefficients are calculated explicitly for a gas of rigid spheres, and are shown to be identical with the Enskog results.
