Idea Collection 1

I found that writing notes on pieces of paper help me to take note of my ideas and to organize my thoughts. But, I simply cannot write all my ideas on ONE piece of paper.
Thus, the problem of having hundreds of pieces of paper lying in my file, my office desk, and my personal table and thousands of ideas on those pieces of paper make going back to them very difficult.

So, I decided to stay writing them down in my blog once in a while.
This is my 1st Idea Collection! Let me embrace the chaos of the paper tiger!

IDEAS

1. "Through model selection, I found these variables are significant and provide the best fit.
   Paracemoneous : simplest plausible model with the fewest possible number of variables
2. Particle density = the weight of one pellet / the volume of one pellet
   The volume of one pellet is calculated from its dimensions (i.e. diameter and length), which in turn, measured using a caliper.
   Bulk density = weight of material in a container with a defined volume/ the defined volume
   True density = solid density = density measured using pycnometer!
   [Jun 5, 2013] Dr. Peng mentioned that pellet's bulk density is NOT a function of particle size. In fact, the pellet bulk density is the same for materials with different particle sizes!
3. If the fuel has higher degree of hydrogen saturation (mass of hydrogen per mole of fuel/ total mass per mole of the fuel), its heating value is higher. <-- more of my own speculation?? I'm not sure.

My COMMENTS

There are more things that were written down but they're mostly tasks and thoughts that either have already been implemented or is out-of-my-current-context. Seems like I'm doing decently well putting together my thoughts and reaffirmed that my paper-note-taking is worth while.

I look forward my next idea collection! :)
