History

Which outcome results when excessive sulfur content is used during black powder production for Congreve rockets?

A)Increased burning rate variability
B)Enhanced composite material stability
C)Greatly improved nozzle erosion
D)Diminished temperature sensitivity

💡 Explanation

Increased sulfur causes uneven combustion because *Bridgman's effect* leads to pressure sensitivity during ignition, therefore, variable thrust arises, rather than controlled burning, which requires a consistent composition and regulated confinement.
