Abstract
The revised Enskog theory for a dense monatomic hard sphere gas is used to analyze the problem of shock waves. The steady profiles of velocity, density, and temperature are obtained, up to the linearized Burnett hydrodynamic order. A comparison with the results of computer simulations and of other hydrodynamic approximations is carried out.
