Table 3.1 shows the air pressure in the dry column. As observed from the data
above, the higher the airflow rate corresponds to high differential pressure.

Table 3.2 shows the air pressure at different flow rates. It can be observed that with
increasing airflow, the differential pressure increases as well; and at the rate of 180, the
pressure differential is at its highest.

Figure 3.2. presents the air pressures at various flow rates. It shows that the air
pressure increases as the air flow increases.
