The inlet manifold pressure was atmospheric. The engine is naturally aspirated and pressure drop in the heat<br />

exchanger and connecting tube are negligible.<br />

DEFINITIONS<br />

Sound pressure<br />

The sound pressure (SP) is defined as the RMS value of the pressure variation. It is measured in Pascal.<br />

Sound pressure level<br />

The sound pressure level (SPL) in decibel (dB) is defined as:<br />

where pref is a reference pressure. This definition is used for both the cylinder pressure and the acoustic sound<br />

pressure measured one meter away from the engine.<br />
