i should have labeled what the numbers are in each row in the photo.
it is just showing what numbers were entered into the calculation for the time area.

rows from top down:
60
5500 (RPM).......chosen rpm point
41.5 degrees (where mean port area needs to be measured).....previous post
360
0.87 cm2 (mean port area).........from trace
49 cc............ motor size

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
......hope to be back on topic again.

here again is the example the WRONG way to do the graph/Time Area thing.

in this example, the baseline motor T-A is on the left most column.

as mentioned in a previous post, the T-A for the exhaust port was below the range in the graph. Need to get it between (0.00015 to 0.00016).

to try to get it into the range in this example, only the MEAN Port Area (highlighted in yellow was changed).

baseline motor MPA = 0.000023 cm2 (left column)

.......the area was doubled in the second column.
.......tripled in the 3rd column
...... etc.
.........and finally in the rightmost column, the MPA was large enough to be in the range.  (green highlighted).

the thing is, this is not possible.

to explain why, looking at the blue squares below each column.  squares represent the MPA's of each column as the area of the port increased.  they are scaled accurate to each other.

to get the MPA in the range..... a port that big would not work in a small diameter cylinder.......it would take up more than 1/2 the bore.  not realistic.

to make bigger ports........the height would have to obviously increase as well.

two things learned: realistic port size; angle degrees MUST be changed in formula as port height increases.

Here is another thing that will throw off T-A attempts.

RPM point chosen.

For this, need to ask yourself, when is a given port size delivering/expelling the maximum amount of mass?  Does it do this where the motor is making maximum HP? Is it maybe where the motor is making peak torque?  At maximum rpm?  Somewhere in between?

At anything less than a certain rpm, the ports are too big, at anything more than a certain rpm ports are too small.  What does the BSFC curve or BSFC Oyster graph show?

That should help get you there, I hope.
------------------------------------------

in this WRONG Way example........ Only the RPM point was raised from 5500 to 14500.  the MPA's were kept oversize as in the previous example.
and....last but not least the angles were kept at the stock baseline motor size.

what happened?...........the TA values lessened to 3 times the previous graph amount.

to change this to get closer the rpm needs to come down, and/or MPA's to come up, or the angles to increase...................

.............here is another wrong way example.

here, the rpm was kept at 14500 as in the previous example.
the MPA's kept the same as previous example.,
ONLY the angles were changed.

what is going on? ........the T-A is still too small?  how can this be?  are the MPA's big enough?  RPM too high?  can the angles be made any larger?

at this point hopefully you can see the answer here.

the stock baseline motor remains unchanged through most all of the numbers shown on the leftmost column.

would this motor be stronger than some of these attempts at number juggling?

the following photo shows the only way to get the numbers within the exhaust port time-area range as shown on the graph.

even if one gets the right: rpm; angle and mean port area .........the result is a non workable solution.

for the example motor, the solution would give a mean port area of almost 6 times the mpa of the stock port.  there is not enough room in the cylinder for this.

the solution angles needed, would give port open durations around 200 degrees.  pretty large as well.

the graph does not seem to work.  the errors may be because the graph was based on larger motors and the low end mean port areas are not shown to be low enough.

the principle is sound.  Naitoh & Nomura, the yama engineers were on to this early on.  GJ drew the graph and limits on a hunch based on the N&N original idea.  in an artical he wrote, back in 1973 stated that there may be some errors.  for the example above, seems that this was one of them.

the graph has helped many get to where they needed to be through the years.  it lacks a couple of things:  nothing about blow down; limited rpm range.

blair in '94, based some of his work on time area as well.  his work relates bmep into the whole T-A spectrum.

all is not lost by all the time it takes to do the mapping, and solving for mpa and T-A etc.  all of this is necessary, to be plugged into the blair method.  where the range does not discriminate for small low power engines as the one shown above.

hope it helps

edit: here is a link to the GJ article.  reading it in his words is much easier on the eyes. http://www.bridgestonemotorcycle.com/documents/aspirin_takers6.pdf

macdizzy has a T-Area graph on his site with port ranges updated for modern motors.

will find out if this motor may fit into his recommendations.

I ran into this with the 7900 port  T/A .   All were deficient despite being hogged out as far as possible.

short stroke/small bore issue in the GJ chart seems like a strong possibility.  with the stroke so short the T-A chart range values listed would be very difficult to achieve.

macdizzy chart recommended ranges go a few T-A ticks lower..........but even so, won't be able to carve something out of the cylinder that is large enough to get with the T-A range he recommends.

macdizzy does some work with Angle-Area as well.  looks like the angle-area can be workable alternative to get into the range, for my 49cc motor.

will post something up in a bit.
