pressure differential
Unequal force distribution
Pressure differential is the difference in pressure between two points or regions.
Air flows from high to low pressure; liquids move through pipes because of pressure differentials.
The concept is central to meteorology, hydraulics, and ventilation systems.
The pressure differential across the membrane drives filtration.
