Abstract
The fifth virial coefficient is computed of a binary mixture composed of different-size hard spheres with additive diameters. The irreducibl e cluster integrals are evaluated numerically using the Monte Carlo me thod. It is found that the fifth virial coefficient becomes slightly n egative for very different sizes of the two species in a regime of hig h dilution of the larger-sphere component.
