Abstract
A detailed mechanism for combustion of iso-octane with 116 species and 754 reactions has been reduced using a directed relation graph with error propagation (DRGEP) and DRGEP with sensitivity analysis (DRGEPSA) methods under high-temperature conditions. Two skeletal mechanisms, i.e., a 63-species mechanism with a maximum error of 7.2% and a 51-species mechanism with a maximum error of 28.5% on autoignition delay times have been generated. These two skeletal mechanisms are shown to reproduce ignition delays, laminar flame speeds, species and temperature profiles in good agreement with those of the detailed mechanism. Uncertainty in the ignition predictions by detailed and two skeletal mechanisms induced by the uncertainties in reaction rate coefficients has been studied. Probability distribution of autoignition predictions demonstrated that the 63-species mechanism can still keep the uncertainty characteristics, while the 51-species mechanism has significant discrepancy compared with the detailed one.
