← HistoryWithin a siege of Constantinople, which outcome directly results when Greek Fire deployment suffers aeration?
A)Reduced combustion range✓
B)Premature fuel detonation
C)Increased flame temperature
D)Accelerated nozzle corrosion
💡 Explanation
Reduced combustion range is the outcome because gas bubbles disrupt the momentum transfer of the fluid stream, impairing its projection; a hydraulic jump results close to the launcher, rather than sustained distance, therefore it falls short, rather than burning hotter.
