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…
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…
Fermi Statistics of Weakly Exicted Granular Systems in a Vibrating Bed I: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Paul V. Quinn, Daniel C. Hong
Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to test the thermodynamic theory of weakly excited, two-dimensional granular systems [Hayakawa and Hong, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2764 (…
