Abstract: In this paper, we present an estimate of the coefficient of the first logarithmic term in the density expansions of transport coefficients of moderately dense gases. We formulate the theory for a gas of hard sphere molecules. Then the essential approximation made in this work is to replace the Lorentz-Boltzmann and the linearized Boltzmann operators by B.G.K. model collision operators. This allows us to compute the coefficient of interest in a simple way. We compare the results of this approximation with previous results.
