Abstract
A reduced kinetic mechanism is constructed taking into account various boun dary conditions and the considerable spread of data on rate constant of ele mentary steps. Kinetic schemes describing the chemical structure of flame w ith various degrees of accuracy are considered. The "shortest" mechanism co nsists of 83 steps and 29 species. The heat fluxes, temperature profiles, a nd concentration profiles of the main (by mass) species calculated from the complete and reduced mechanisms are in good agreement.
