Answers
Answer:
★ Our atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Together with oxygen and other gases, our atmosphere exerts a huge pressure on our bodies. While breathing, this atmospheric pressure helps squeeze out oxygen from our lungs into our blood. ... So basically, without nitrogen, there would be no life on earth.
Nitrogen reduces combustion efficiency by absorbing heat from the combustion of fuels and diluting the flue gases. This reduces the heat available for transfer through the heat exchange surfaces. It also increases the volume of combustion by-products, which then have to travel through the heat exchanger and up the stack faster to allow the introduction of additional fuel air mixture.
This nitrogen also can combine with oxygen (particularly at high flame temperatures) to produce oxides of nitrogen (NOx),which are toxic pollutants
This means Nitrogen is also needed for combustion.
