← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when the controlled combustion pressure exceeds limits within early Greek Fire siphon systems?
A)System disintegration due to overpressure✓
B)Flameout caused by fuel over-enrichment
C)Toxic chlorine gas byproduct production
D)Stable combustion via nozzle regulation
💡 Explanation
Overpressure leads to disintegration because hoop stress exceeds siphon material strength causing rapid structural failure; therefore, the system bursts, rather than maintaining controlled pressure because material limits were exceeded under combustion.
