Abstract
In the previous two chapters, a formal derivation of the Burnett and Grad equations was presented. The derivation involved several novel ideas making the approach and the obtained equations invaluable. However, as reviewed in this chapter, both these equations have several limitations because of which working with alternate forms of these equations becomes necessary. Therefore, several variants of these equations have been proposed in the literature. The basic idea behind fixing the equations and the available variants are introduced in this chapter. Comparison of the results as obtained from the variants of the equations for a few specific cases is also presented.
