Question
History

Within 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.
