What are some interesting things I can do with measured dew points and relative humidities?
Hello,

I have recently gotten ahold of a hygrometer and was wondering if there were any interesting topics I could research with measured dew points and relative humidities.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I have done a few measurements just to see how it works. I did some research about things that are related to the dewpoint and or relative humidity but failed to find something that would be interesting for me.

I am not looking to do measurements to complement the existing table of the difference between the wet- and drybulb readings and checking if the relative humidity that it should have is correct (like this: https://www.test-and-measurement-world.com/images/Relative-Humidity-Chart-Table.jpg). However I am looking for something that goes more 'in depth' so to speak.
 
Take a look at this:

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
