Abstract

In this chapter, we summarize the expressions for the linear systems that need to be solved for the explicit calculation of the transport coefficients. These expressions are used in many chapters of this book together with the corresponding expressions derived by Devoto(1967a), extending the formulation of Hirschfelder etal.(1966). The two approaches are equivalent as it will be shown in this chapter.
