In this paper, we consider a Kudryashov‐Sinelshchikov equation that describes pressure waves in a mixture of a liquid and gas bubbles taking into consideration the viscosity of liquid and the heat transfer between liquid and gas bubbles. We show that this equation is rich in conservation laws. These conservation laws have been found by using the direct method of the multipliers. We apply the Lie group method to derive the symmetries of this equation. Then, by using the optimal system of 1‐dimensional subalgebras we reduce the equation to ordinary differential equations. Finally, some exact wave solutions are obtained by applying the simplest equation method.
