                         reduction technique directed relation graph (DRG) is presented and 
                         applied to develop a new skeletal mechanism for ethanol. Two 
                         combustion processes, ignition delay time and fame speed, that are 
                         mandatory for a mechanism to reproduce are used to calculate the 
                         species coupling through DRG index. Based on a detailed mechanism 
                         of 57 species among 383 reversible elementary reactions, a 
                         skeletal mechanism of 37 species and 184 reactions is obtained, 
                         which represents a decrease of 35% in the number of species and 
                         almost 52% in the number of reactions. The new mechanism is 
                         validated for ignition delay time and fame speed measurements, and 
                         also for one-dimensional burner stabilized fat and counterfow 
                         fames simulations, which were not considered in the development of 
                         the skeletal mechanism. Comparisons with experimental data and 
                         with the behaviour of other mechanisms in the literature are also 
                         displayed. The methodology presented can be useful and contribute 
                         to generate skeletal mechanisms with less efort that can reproduce 
                         a more demanding simulation.",
