ABSTRACT The fifth to eighth virial coefficients of the additive hard-sphere binary mixtures are accurately calculated in the whole range of sphere diameter ratios. Calculations are based on an extension of the technique for topological analysis of the Ree–Hoover diagrams and the standard Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm. The results for the fifth to the seventh partial virial coefficients are compared with literature data. The eighth virial coefficients are new. The results are also compared with a semi-empirical analytical equation due to Wheatley and discussed.
