The noise radiated from the tail pipe plays an important role in the total noise emitted for small two stroke engines. In this paper, an engine cycle and exhaust system model for a commercial 50 c.c., crankcase-scavenged type, single cylinder two stroke engine was developed to determine the noise emitted from the exhaust pipe. In modeling the engine cycle, a zero dimensional thermodynamic model was used to represent the compression and the expansion process in cylinder, and a two zone quasi dimensional model was used to represent the combustion process. As for the scavenging process, the perfect mixing model was used. In modeling the gas dynamics in the intake and the exhaust system, an unsteady one dimensional model was used, and the characteristic line method was employed to solve the partial differential equations.
