The mean free path of a rigid-sphere gas has been calculated from the most general form of the equilibrium distribution function. The mean free path depends on stream speed through the flow Mach number and increases monotonically with Mach number. The temperature dependence of the mean free path defined for realistic intermolecular forces through a transport coefficient is justified in molecular dynamics.
