This paper reports work on modelling the exhaust noise pressure of a small
single-cylinder spark ignition (SI) engine. The model will ultimately be us
ed for on-line prediction of exhaust noise in an active control system with
a single-error microphone. The frequency properties of the engine exhaust
noise generated by this SI engine are characterized by harmonic components
related to engine firing conditions. The frequencies of the harmonic compon
ents depend only on the engine firing frequency while the amplitudes of the
harmonic components vary with the engine load. Twenty harmonic components
at the lower frequency band were included to model the exhaust pressure pul
se which is a two-dimensional function of engine speed and load. The model
is represented by a double Chebyshev polynomial. The instantaneous exhaust
pressure at steady state for a fixed position in the exhaust pipe was predi
cted using this model and compared with the experimental data. The result o
f this comparison is regarded as satisfactory.
