← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when the *Syphon* component of a Byzantine dromon Greek fire projector overheats beyond its material limit?
A)Increased projectile accuracy
B)Ejection system blockage
C)Reduced flame temperature
D)Catastrophic pressure vessel failure✓
💡 Explanation
A dangerously high *thermal stress* causes the projector’s pressure vessel to rupture; it cannot cope without proper cooling. A pressurized failure arises because the material yields under excessive heat, therefore catastrophic failure is the outcome, rather than simple blockage or temperature reduction.
