Which risk increases when injecting fuel into a rocket engine combustion chamber at high velocity?

A)Unstable combustion via turbulent mixing
B)Detonation due to fuel preheating
C)Erosion from laminar flame quenching
D)Icing caused by rapid cooling

💡 Explanation

Unstable combustion rises because the high-velocity injection promotes turbulence exceeding stable combustion limits; this increases the mixing rate of fuel and oxidizer via turbulent mixing causing erratic burning, therefore unstable combustion is a risk, rather than a more controlled detonation.
