Claim 8:
9. A method of limiting the temperature of an exhaust stream of an engine configured to react a first reactant with a gaseous stream of second reactant to produce energy and the exhaust stream, the gaseous stream of second reactant being provided to the engine at a flow rate, comprising:
monitoring information indicative of an altitude at which the engine is operating;
monitoring information indicative of an exhaust stream temperature; and
controlling the flow rate of the gaseous stream of second reactant based on the monitored information indicative of an altitude and the monitored information indicative of an exhaust stream temperature, such that the exhaust stream temperature is maintained below a temperature limit.
