← HistoryWhich consequence occurred due to uncontrolled flame within the Byzantine empire's complex mechanical fire-launchers?
A)Rapid propellant chemical decomposition✓
B)Catastrophic water cooling system failure
C)Unstable nozzle pressure fluctuations
D)Mechanical reverse thrust blockage
💡 Explanation
Rapid propellant decomposition occurred because increased temperatures from uncontrolled flame accelerated the chemical reaction, therefore causing an unstable mixture; rather than mechanical failures, direct thermal runaway was the primary risk.
