Summary:
The objective of this experimental To examine the air pressure
differential across the column as a function of air flow rate
different water flow rates down the column.
P= *g *h
We calculated the results from table (1) to (6) and plotted loglog graph between air flow rate VS. Differential pressure.

Experimental Procedure:

1- The first step we dried by passing the maximum air flow until all
evidence of moisture in the packing has disappeared.
2- We run on of the pump of air.
3- At zero flow of air we read the hight and recorded it
4- We increased flow air to 20(l/min) and read of hight a cross the
column.
5- We increased flow air to 40,60, 80,,180(l/min) and read of hight then
recorded it for each one.
6- After that we changed flow of water to 1.5(l/min) and repeat step 3 to 5
after that changed flow water to 2, 2.5, and 3(l/min).
7- The range of possible air flow rates will decrease with increasing water
flow rate duo to onset of flooding of column, which should be noted.
