The Boltzmann equation with a small external force is considered. The singular limit of the solution is studied, when the mean free path tends to zero. The macroscopic quantities (mass density, velocity, and temperature) associated with the solutions of the Boltzmann equation converge to the solution of the compressible Euler equation with the initial data obtained from that of the Bolzmann equation.
