Now consider a car intake system. Before flowing past the intake valve, the intake encounters approximated as 1 m of 6 cm diameter pipe. Along the length of the intake, there are approximately two \(90^{\circ}\) flanged elbows with a radius of curvature of 4 x the pipe diameter and a butterfly throttling valve. The throttling valve has a loss coefficient given by the diagram below. Determine the pressure at the end of the intake system just upstream of the valve for valve opening angles of \(45^{\circ}\) and \(90^{\circ}\) if the flow rate is 0.004\(\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\), the temperature is \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), and the intake gas has the same properties as air. You can use the charts attached below to solve. Where needed you can assume the tubing is perfectly smooth.
