A semiautomatic popcorn popper is shown. After the unpopped corn is placed in screen S , the fan F blows air past the heating coils C and then past the popcorn. When the corn pops, its projected area increases; thus it is blown up and into a container. Unpopped corn has a mass of about 0.15 g per kernel and an average diameter of approximately 6 mm. When the corn pops, its average diameter is about 18 mm. Within what range of airspeeds in the chamber will the device operate properly.
