Abstract
Using the two-body distribution function found earlier by the authors with the aid of new boundary conditions, the kinetic equation and the transport coefficients are obtained to zeroth and first order in the density. To zeroth order we recover the Boltzmann kinetic equation. To first order the resulting expressions differ from the ones obtained by Choh and Uhlenbeck, due to effects of the medium.
