Thus the reaction poohs out as the temperature rises.
'poohs out' ? I've looked up the definition of 'pooh', and there's nothing to indicate what this means in this context, can someone elaborate?

It's slang, meaning to lose momentum and stop. Saying "died out" or "fizzled out" is more common these days (eg: A spark jumped from the fire but quickly fizzled out on the snowy ground).
