Abstract: In order to obtain the dynamical description of irreversible processes in inhomogeneous gases, the method of subdynamics is used. The dynamics of the large isolated system is decomposed into various subdynamics. Each subdynamics is governed by a set of irreversible equations for the reduced distribution function. Specially, the evolution of the inhomogeneous one-particle function is given by a kinetic equation, which is linear in the physical representation. The relation between this kinetic equation and the non-linear inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation is investigated.
