For an inlet valve, the mass flow rate through the valve is 0.44 kg/s. The flow coefficient is 0.62 and the cylinder pressure is 105 kPa. Assume intake system pressure and temperature are 180 kPa and 527 K, the specific heat ratio is 1.3 and R =287 J / kg.K. The area of the valve is (SI unit): Select one: a. 2.30*10-3 O b. 3.45*10-2 O c. 1.43*10-3 O d. 1.75*10-3 O e. 0.85*10-2
