A binary fluid mixture of non-additive hard spheres characterized by a size ratio $\gamma=\sigma_2/\sigma_1<1$ and a non-additivity parameter $\Delta=2\sigma_{12}/(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)-1$ is considered in infinitely many dimensions. From the…

The well-known Carnahan-Starling (CS) equation of state (EoS) [1] for the hard sphere (HS) fluid was derived from a quadratic relation between the integer portions of the virial coefficients, Bn, and their orders, n. Here we extend the…

We evaluate the virial coefficients B_k for k<=10 for hard spheres in dimensions D=2,...,8. Virial coefficients with k even are found to be negative when D>=5. This provides strong evidence that the leading singularity for the virial series…
