← HistoryWhich 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.
