Come to think of it, maybe a more fundamental explanation may be in order:
Blowdown angle.area
Blowdown angle.area is not simply the total blowdown area multiplied by the total blowdown angle. It is the sum of a lot of small area steps, multiplied by the time during which each of these steps is open.
For example, let us assume that the exhaust port is a simple rectangle, 40 mm wide, that it opens 1 mm further for each degree of crankshaft rotation, and that the total blowdown angle from the point where the exhaust port is beginning to open till the point were the transfer ports are beginning to open, is 30°.
Then the first degree of exhaust opening will open an area of 40 mm x 1 mm = 40 mm², and this area will be open during the whole 30° of blowdown period. That first area thus has an angle.area of 30° x 40 mm² = 1200°mm².
When the crankshaft turns 1 degree further, an additional area of 40 mm² is opened. This second area will be open during 29°, so its angle.area is 29° x 40 mm² = 1160°mm².
Repeat this calculation for each crank degree until the end of the blowdown phase, and add all the angle.area values; that will give you the total blowdown angle.area.
In reality this calculation is complicated by the fact that not every degree of crank angle gives the same port height difference, and even more complicated by the fact that the exhaust port is not a simple rectangle. But you will understand the principle of angle.area.
================================================== ==============================
Transfer angle.area
Let us assume a transfer port with a timing of 130°.
When you turn the crank 1º past Transfer Open, a certain area of port, say A1, will be exposed. I don't know or care what that area is, that's for you to measure.
That area of port A1 will be open for 130º. The angle.area for this area A1 is = 130 x A1.
Turn the crank another 1º and an additional area of port, A2, will be opened.
This additional area A2 will be open for 128º. The angle.area for this area is = 128 x A2.
The next degree of crank rotation will open Area A3 which will be open for 126º and its angle.area will be 126 x A3.
Keep going like this until BDC, then add up all the angle.areas you have calculated.
The total is the angle.area for that transfer port.
