Abstract
The paper describes the method of presenting data for a computet program, based on the method of characteristics, which calculates the pressure and temperature in the exhaust system and cylinders in two- or four-stroke engines with valves or ports. The program is arranged so that the performance of an exhaust pipe can be assessed for a number of pipe configurations. A brief description of the theoretical background and program format is given, followed by a suggested design calculation procedure. Examples are then given of the application of the program to both two- and four-stroke supercharged engines. The results of the calculation are compared with experimental measurements. A description of the subroutines and the organization of a calculation on the computer, together with the data order are given in two of the appendices.
