← HistoryWhich challenge frequently arose for Byzantine navy ships employing Greek fire?
A)Premature nozzle blockage from deposits✓
B)Inconsistent fuel mixture viscosity
C)Insufficient bellows oxygen supply
D)Unreliable ignition during heavy rain
💡 Explanation
Premature nozzle blockage often hindered Greek fire weaponry because rapid carbonization created solid deposits during ejection; the thermal decomposition mechanism obstructed the flow. Therefore, consistent firing was problematic rather than environmental factors, impacting combustion or simple fluid dynamics.
