Determining the Critical Temperature and Number of Frozen Layers in a Two-Dimensional Bed of Vibrating Hard Spheres Using a Global Equation of State
Alison E. Koser, Paul V. Quinn
Using a global equation of state, empirically derived by Luding, we accurately model the density profile of a two-dimensional hard sphere system with diameter D and mass m under gr…
The Fermi Statistics of a Weakly Excited Particle in a Vibrating Bed
Holly M. Kokstein, Paul V. Quinn
A one dimensional experiment in granular dynamics is carried out to test the thermodynamic theory of weakly excited granular systems [Hayakawa and Hong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2764(1…
The Electrostatic Gravimeter: An Alternate Way of Measuring Gravitational Acceleration
David O. Kashinski, Paul V. Quinn
In the past, the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth, , has been measured in many ways. Various methods include the use of a pendulum as well as models involv…
Increasing the Size of a Piece of Popcorn
Paul V. Quinn, Daniel C. Hong, J. A. Both
Popcorn is an extremely popular snack food in the world today. Thermodynamics can be used to analyze how popcorn is produced. By treating the popping mechanism of the corn as a the…
Hong et al reply to Canul-Chay et al
Daniel C. Hong, Paul V. Quinn, Stefan Luding
Canul-Chay et al. [1] have conducted the segregation experiment of binary granular mixtures in a bed and subjected the bed to vibration. They report that the reverse Brazil-Nut phe…
Hong et al. reply to Walliser
Daniel C. Hong, Paul V. Quinn, Stefan Luding
We find it absurd that Walliser [1] essentially used the same analysis and obtained identical results as reported in [3], yet arrived at different conclusions. Namely, based on an…
