Abstract: We present a survey of some of the recent applications of kinetic theory to the study of transport phenomena in moderately dense gases. In particular, we consider the predictions of kinetic theory for the density dependence of transport coefficients, for the time and density dependence of equilibrium time correlation functions, for the structure of linear and nonlinear hydrodynamic equations and for the scattering of neutrons and light by dense fluids, and compare these predictions with experimental results and results from computer simulations. The accomplishments as well as some of the outstanding unresolved issues in kinetic theory will be discussed.
