← HistoryWhich combustion outcome was improved by pre-industrial Byzantine Greek Fire siege weapons when thicker ingredients replaced those of low viscosity?
A)Reduced component separation distance
B)Greater flame projection distance✓
C)Decreased extinguishing capability
D)Unpredictable smoke detonation radius
💡 Explanation
Increased fuel droplet viscosity improved flame projection via reduced atomization from increased cohesive forces; therefore, projection distance increased because larger droplets experienced less aerodynamic drag, rather than separation, suppression, or unreliable explosion.
