Kinetic equations for dense gases and liquids

The kinetic equation of the revised Enskog theory for the system of hard spheres is derived in the framework of the nonequilibrium statistical operator method from the Liouville equation with a modified boundary condition that takes into account the correlations associated with the local conservation laws. It is shown that the kinetic equation corresponds to the approximation of “pair collisions” without retardation in time. A generalized Enskog–Landau kinetic equation for a singlecomponent system of charged hard spheres is derived. Its normal solutions and analytic expressions for the transport coefficients are obtained.
