Presence of nitrogen in combustion air does not reduce the ____________________?
Correct answer: A. Amount of heat liberated
- A. Amount of heat liberated
- B. Flame temperature
- C. Flue gas temperature
- D. Any of the above

Nitrogen is essentially inert, so it does not participate in combustion and does not reduce the heat chemically liberated by the fuel. It does absorb heat and therefore lowers flame and flue-gas temperatures.
