Abstract: A reduced kinetic mechanism is constructed taking into account various boundary conditions and the considerable spread of data on rate constant of elementary steps. Kinetic schemes describing the chemical structure of flame with various degrees of accuracy are considered. The “shortest” mechanism consists of 83 steps and 29 species. The heat fluxes, temperature profiles, and concentration profiles of the main (by mass) species calculated from the complete and reduced mechanisms are in good agreement.
