NO2 reacts preferentially with CO rather than C3H6 causing inhibition of NO oxidation.
Inert washcoat layers provides conditions for estimating effective diffusivity.
Effect of washcoat transport resistance most apparent for C3H6 and CO oxidation.
Kinetic model performed well with O, CO and NO2 as the only surface species.
Model developed resolving transport resistance, kinetics and inhibition effects.
