There are several different "Oxides of Nitrogen" commonly formed in a internal combustion engine.

In laymen's language: Nitrogen will not normally bond with oxygen.

Modern engines burn fuel and Air at very very high temperatures and pressures. When Oxygen and Nitrogen are subjected to this the Oxides are formed.

The way they stop this is by Adding a little Exhaust gas to the intake air, this lowers the `Peak Burn Temperatures` just enough to reduce this. The diesel truck `DEF` fluid system does this also

What are the jobs that steam engines did?

Steam engines and steam pumps performed and still perform any jobs presently performed by internal combustion engines, or electric motors. Except aircraft engines, (they and the necessary boilers are too heavy to fly). Locomotives, pumping, generating electricity, automobiles, industrial machinery...etc..

What organisms other than bacteria are able to perform nitrogen fixation?

Certain plants like clover, soybeans, alfalfa, lupines, peanuts, and rooibos can perform nitrogen fixation.


Is it possible to use cold air in Internal Combustion engines?

depends what u mean...there r actual modifications for cars called "cold air intakes" in theory, the colder the air, the better the engine will perform bcoz the air is more dense and so more oxygen molecules in it. this is where nitrous comes in.....the actual nitrogen doesnt burn, but it is an extremely cold gas and simply "sprays" in more oxygen


Why are bacteria required in nitrogen cycle?

Nitrogen needs to be fixed before it is used by plants.


What kind of nitrogen do plants need?

Bacteria and plant roots perform nitrogen fixation, which allows plants to use the nitrogen. Nitrogen is used in cells to build proteins and DNA. However, plants get their nitrogen as "nutrients" in the soil.

In 1997, 17-year-old student Daniel_Malmedahlrecorded himself impersonating the noises produced by internal combustion engines. He posted this on a website and caught the attention of a Swedish television researcher, who convinced Daniel to perform the sound live on air.


Bacteria return nitrogen to the soil by which process?

The role of bacteria in the Nitrogen Cycle is to perform biological nitrogen fixation. This process is an important part of the Nitrogen Cycle because it converts oxygen into ammonia that plants are then able to use.


Why pitcher plant feeds on insects despite it can perform photosynthesis?

It eats insects so it can get nitrogen because it lives in an area where nitrogen is not abundant in the soil.


Bacteria are the only organisms that can?

Bacteria are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen into a usable form. Diazotroph or nitrogen-fixing bacteria are types of bacteria that perform this ability.
