The Enskog theory for dense multicomponent fluid mixtures is developed. Two versions are considered: the standard theory and the revised theory. Explicit expressions for all the transport coefficients (shear and bulk viscosity, thermal conductivity, mutual and thermal diffusion coefficients) in terms of the sizes, masses, and concentrations of the constituents of the mixture are given in the third Enskog approximation. Applications will be discussed in subsequent papers.
