This paper derives transport equations for medium rarefied gases from the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model kinetic equation using a Hermite polynomial approximation for the monoatomic gas distribution function. We apply the Chapman-Enskog regularization method to Grad's velocity distribution function that corresponds to his thirteen moment equation, extending these equations to the third order of the Knudsen number. We show that the obtained set of Grad's regularized thirteen moment equations is complete, and that all previously obtained closures for Grad's thirteen moment equations are the sets of truncated equations obtained in this paper. Using the truncated transport equations may lead to losing accuracy in computing gas flows and heat transfer in rarefied gases. The velocity distribution function for the resulting 13 regularized moment equations is presented.
