Which outcome results from improper control of gunpowder grain size during Chinese rocket manufacture?

💡 Explanation

Inconsistent particle surface area alters the burning rate. Deflagration rate is determined by the reactive surface of the composition; because smaller grains mean faster burning and more thrust spikes, control systems become ineffective, resulting in unpredictable propulsion rather than consistent thrust.
