Trapezoidal Rotary Valve

Trapezoidal Valve -50% of its Path
In this situation it is necessary to calculate and to be possible to find the intake area, considering that it is introduced the value of that tells us the new position on the valve path. Those are calculated by,
(1)
(2)
Using the same equations (from (3) until (7) in the Trapezoidal Rotary Valve menu), the area in this situation is going to be,
