Abstract: For integers $ q$, $ m$, $ n$, $ k$ with $ q,k\geq 1$, and Dirichlet character $ \chi\bmod q$, we define a mixed exponential sum

$\displaystyle C(m,n,k,\chi;q):= \mathop{{\sum}'}_{a=1}^q\chi(a)\hbox{e}\left(\frac{ma^k+na}{q}\right), $

where $ \displaystyle \hbox{e}(y)=\hbox{e}^{2\pi iy}$, and $ \sum'_{a}$ denotes the summation over all $ a$ with $ (a,q)=1$. The main purpose of this paper is to study the mean value of

$\displaystyle \sum_{\chi\bmod q}\mathop{{\sum}'}_{m=1}^q\left\vert C(m,n,k,\chi;q)\right\vert^4, $

and to give a related identity on the mean value of the general Kloosterman sum

$\displaystyle K(m,n,\chi;q):=\mathop{{\sum}'}_{a=1}^q\chi(a)\hbox{e}\left(\frac{ma +n\overline{a}}{q}\right), $

where $ a\overline{a} \equiv 1 \bmod q$.
