The effects of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and hydrogen dilution are investigated for a series of simulated reformate gases. A simple mathematical model with an internal air bleed term is proposed to understand the interaction between CO poisoning, hydrogen dilution, and the internal air bleed (I...
