This talk will survey some recent advances in the develpoment of transition regime models from kinetic equations. Specifically, the class of stationary-balance models models will be presented in the context of linear monoenergetic radiative transport. These models share elements with both traditional moment closures and expansions. They include a natural framwork for developing boundary conditions. It will be shown that these models have a dissipation relation that is consistent with the underlying transport equation.
