← HistoryWhich limitation was addressed by Song Dynasty military engineering implementing granulated gunpowder rather than powder?
A)Reduced rate of accidental deflagration✓
B)Increased black powder reaction temperature
C)Narrower optimal humidity tolerance range
D)Lower propellant energy density limits
💡 Explanation
Granulated gunpowder created smaller interstitial spaces, promoting faster, more consistent burning because the mechanism of deflagration spread more uniformly. Therefore accidental ignition was reduced, rather than manipulating its reaction temperature or energy density as the powder form does.
