Hi Jiacheng:

A one-step mechanism is very crude chemistry to describe a process that in reality has hundreds of chemical reactions.  For an example, you can visit the UC San Diego page, where the base mechanism can be used + the heptane chemistry to approximate kerosine:

Another way to approach fuel mixtures is to develop surrogate fuel mixtures for which the chemistry is known. This type of work can be conducted with Chemkin and is described in the paper at the link below:
