What is an additional factor in pressure loss when drafting? [onboard, static, pressurized]
the inertia of water. as the water begins to move through the pump a certain amount of energy is consumed in getting the water art rest to begin to move and increase its velocity sufficiently to supply the amount of water needed

What is a scientific explanation of cavitation? [onboard, static, pressurized]
as the pressure drops below atmospheric pressure the boiling point of water drops to the point that liquid changes to a vapor and creates a bubble of water vapor or steam. as the vapor passes through the impeller of the pump, the pressure increases, the vapor condenses, and waster rushes in to fill the void
