A set of general linear kinetic classical equations is derived (equations (71), (72) and (73) of this paper) for the singlet distribution function in phase space of a classical dense fluid. Approximate forms of these general equations are shown to reduce to alternative theories of fluids already available and it is shown further that the present theory reduces to that of Prigogine when the phase variables are transformed into Fourier space. The theory can readily be extended to apply to higher order distribution functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
