The second-order approximation of the Chapman-Enskog method is considered for the Enskog-Landau kinetic equation. Exact expressions for the pair distribution function of the nonuniform hard-sphere system are presented up to the second order in gradients. A general equation for the second-order correction to the one-particle distribution function is obtained. Corresponding contributions to momentum and heat fluxes are found.
