← HistoryWithin early Chinese cast iron cannons, which outcome arises when propellant deflagration occurs too slowly?
A)Reduced projectile muzzle velocity✓
B)Increased bore surface corrosion
C)Elevated combustion chamber pressure
D)Unstable projectile flight path
💡 Explanation
Lower muzzle velocity happens because slow deflagration causes a gradual pressure increase, therefore the projectile accelerates less powerfully than with rapid powder burn. Rather than higher pressure or corrosion effects, kinetic energy decreases.
