Term
What is a NAPL?
Give this one a try later!
A NAPL is a "non-aqueous phase liquid." It's a liquid solution
contaminant that don't dissolve or easily mix with water. (e.g. oil,
petroleum).
Cavitation is the formation of voids in a liquid ("bubbles"). It's basically
when you have a near vacuum (low pressure) area in a liquid. It's
generally caused by a propeller/pump, but can also occur in other
, contexts.
