7. (15 pts) A hot air popcorn popper operates by blowing air though the popping chamber, fluidizing unpopped grains until they pop, then carrying the popped corn up through a duct and out of the popper, leaving the unpopped grains behind, Calculate the density of the unpopped grains if the air velocity required for their fluidization is 1 m/s. Assume the diameter of the popper chamber is 8 cm, the unpopped grains have an equivalent spherical diameter of 5 mm, and that the grains can be approximated as spheres.
