โ HistoryWhich outcome occurred at the Siege of Constantinople, 674โ678, as Greek fire deployed against Arab ships passed beyond a minimum range?
A)Reduced intensity of thermal radiationโ
B)Decreased flame persistence on seawater
C)Propellant auto-extinction mid-stream
D)Enhanced combustion due sulfur additives
๐ก Explanation
Reduced intensity of thermal radiation occurred because the flame spread diminishes due to atmospheric dispersion, therefore limiting heat transfer to the target, rather than other combustion enhancers which would have been optimized during close-range deployment using siphonarios mechanism.
