A universal equation of state for the fluid of hard bodies of an arbitrary shape is proposed. New Monte Carlo data of the hard sphere system are published and the existing pseudoexperimental data for hard spheres, spherocylindres and dumbells are critically reviewed.

The excess entropy of mixing of mixtures of hard spheres and spherocylinders is determined from an equation of state of hard convex bodies. The obtained dependence of excess entropy on composition was used to find the accuracy of determining ΔSE from relations employed for the correlation and prediction of vapour-liquid equilibrium. Simple rules were proposed for establishing the mean parameter of nonsphericity for mixtures of hard bodies of different shapes allowing to describe the P-V-T behaviour of solutions in terms of the equation of state fo pure substance. The determination of ΔSE by means of these rules is discussed.

Various truncations for the virial series of a binary fluid mixture of additive hard spheres are used to analyze the location of the critical consolute point of this system for different size asymmetries. The effect of uncertainties in the values of the eighth virial coefficients on the resulting critical constants is assessed. It is also shown that a replacement of the exact virial coefficients in lieu of the corresponding coefficients in the virial expansion of the analytical Boublík–Mansoori–Carnahan–Starling–Leland equation of state, which still leads to an analytical equation of state, may lead to a critical consolute point in the system.

The fifth virial coefficient of a fluid of hard spheres is a sum of 238 irreducible cluster integrals of 10 different types. The values of 5 of these types (152 integrals) are obtained analytically, the contributions of a further 4 types (85 integrals) are obtained by a com­bination of analytical and numerical integration, and 1 integral is calculated by an approximation. The result is E = (0·1093 ± 0·0007) b 4 , b = 2/3 πN A σ 3 , where σ is the diameter of a sphere. A combination of the values of 237 of the cluster integrals obtained in this paper with the value of one integral obtained independently by Katsura & Abe from a Monte Carlo calculation yields E = (0·1101 ± 0·0003) b 4 .
