RESEARCH NOTE Fifth virial coefficient of hard sphere mixtures

New calculations of the fifth virial coefficient are presented for binary hard sphere mixtures. These improve on, and in some cases correct, previous results. A polynomial fit is used to extend the results to all diameter ratios, with an accuracy better than 1.05%. It is confirmed that the fifth vir...

Description
Summary:New calculations of the fifth virial coefficient are presented for binary hard sphere mixtures. These improve on, and in some cases correct, previous results. A polynomial fit is used to extend the results to all diameter ratios, with an accuracy better than 1.05%. It is confirmed that the fifth virial coefficient is positive for all diameter ratios and mole fractions.
