✦ Synopsis

This article presents an automatic method for reducing a detailed primary mechanism of combustion of any single alkane. Free radicals having the same molecular formula and the same functional groups are lumped into one single species. The number of free radicals of the primary mechanism is divided by a factor 16 in the case of n-heptane. The kinetic parameters of lumped reactions are computed as weighted means of individual rate constants without any fitting process. The simulations of lumped and detailed mechanisms of combustion of isooctane and n-heptane show a good agreement in a wide temperature range (600-1200 K).
