Abstract
A procedure based on Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and the moment met hod is proposed for constructing approximate solutions of the Boltzman n equation. The proposed procedure yields, irrespective of the adopted accuracy of the distribution function calculation, the exact classica l expression for the entropy production in a non-uniform gas, as well as fulfillment of the Onsager relations between macroscopic kinetic co efficients.
