In this paper, combustion in a narrow channel with an imposed temperature gradient is used to calibrate a reduced chemical mechanism. The focus is placed on unsteady flames with repetitive extinction and ignition (FREI) at high pressure. The reduced mechanism follows a hybrid approach, combining a small fuel-dependent submechanism with a detailed fuel-independent submechanism for the core species chemistry. The fuel-dependent submechanism consists of three species and nine reactions describing both the low and high-temperature fuel decomposition pathways. The sensitivity of the extinction and ignition locations to the fuel-dependent reactions is assessed and multiple reactions are found to affect the FREI behavior. The sensitive reactions are calibrated following a Bayesian approach. The calibrated reduced model is compared to a detailed model and good agreement in ignition delay times and laminar flame speeds is observed. Finally, this illustrates the potential of a micro flow reactor with a controlled temperature profile to test fuels, calibrate chemical models, and infer kinetic data.
