Popis:	A simple form for the expansion of the distribution function in phase space, by means of modified hermite polynomials, is set up. Expressions for the density, temperature and the components of the mass current, of the strain tensor, and of the heat current, in terms of the coefficients in the expansion, are obtained. A simple method for obtaining the infinite set of integro‐differential equations imposed upon the coefficients in the expansion of the distribution function by the Gibbs' principle of conservation of density‐in‐phase is outlined. Results obtained for the dissipative processes of heat conduction and of viscosity in liquids are summarized.
