the weak mixture region, but surprisingly there is a lower level of carbon monoxide in the rich region
than when there is no dissociation. The explanation of this is that the dissociation of the water releases
some oxygen that is then taken up by the carbon. The production of carbon monoxide in lean mixtures
is the reason for carbon monoxide in the untreated exhaust gas from internal combustion engines even
when they are operating stoichiometrically or lean.
Considering the carbon dioxide, it can be seen that this peaks at an equivalence ratio of unity
(f ¼ 1) without dissociation. However, it peaks at an equivalence ratio of around f ¼ 0.9–1.0
