← HistoryWhich outcome occurred given that Byzantine flamethrowers experienced variations in feedstock viscosity?
A)Reduced projectile range dramatically✓
B)Increased burning duration substantially
C)Caused widespread siege malfunctions
D)Induced faster cooling rate rapidly
💡 Explanation
In Byzantine flamethrowers, the nozzle would clog decreasing range dramatically during the deployment of Greek fire as the viscosity increased, because laminar BURNOUT reduced outflow; therefore, projectile reach suffered severely, rather than combustion duration lengthening.
