During the Byzantine sieges of Constantinople, which consequence resulted when Greek fire was miscalculated due to wind?

💡 Explanation

Greek fire could backfire if misjudged; therefore, ship self-immolation could happen because unpredictable wind altered projectile trajectory, leading to the flammable mixture engulfing its own vessel rather than enemy ships; thermal shock is unlikely.

• Which process limits efficient water transport within Mughal garden fountains due to conduit encrustation?
• Which structural failure was reduced due to Roman concrete in harbor fortifications?
• During early Chinese cast iron production, which inherent casting risk reduces overall cannon barrel integrity?
