The primary objective of this study is to develop a procedure for simplifying the mathematical model of a chemical reaction by reducing the number of steps and species in the reaction scheme. The procedure is based on the sensitivity analysis of the functional model to the change in the model parameters. The application of this procedure makes it possible to accelerate and improve the construction of mathematical models for chemical reactions, as this does not require the calculation of sensitivity coefficients at various time points or sensitivity matrix analysis. The efficiency of using this procedure was demonstrated by comparative results of modeling of formaldehyde oxidation in terms of detailed and reduced schemes. Computational aspects of the solution to the problems of chemical kinetics by the global sensitivity method using the example of the formaldehyde oxidation reaction are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
