Abstract

The first virial corrections for shear viscosity η and thermal conductivity λ are calculated, starting from the BOLTZMANN-LANDAU equation of a quantum gas in binary collision approximation. The first order CHAPMAN-ENSKOG solution is used. With a very simplified collisional operator numerical values are got and compared with experiments. The result is that the kinetic equation including the interaction effects in quasi-free motion is able to explain the empirical order of magnitude of dη/dn.
