The phrase "air intake was" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to mechanics, engineering, or automotive discussions, particularly when describing a component or system's condition or function.
Example: "The air intake was clogged, which affected the engine's performance."
Alternatives: "air intake had" or "air intake is".
It had no grille (the air intake was hidden underneath the front bumper), exceedingly short overhangs for its day, was bodied in fiberglass, and heralded the wedge-shape aerodynamic design that more or less has been with us ever since.
Then, the energy-saving potential achievable by integrating a wet-coil IEC into a conventional variable air volume (VAV) system for pre-conditioning the outdoor air intake was quantitatively evaluated.
The results of structural analyses indicated that the von Mises stress of both rectangular and circular air intakes at the lower location were greater than that of the higher location, and the stress for circular air intake was less than that of rectangular air intake under seismic loading.
The flare and chaff dispensers were moved, and the ram air intake was lengthened at the fin's base.
The air intake was placed so it was rearward of the nose but forward enough to minimize air flow losses and reduce aerodynamic drag.
In the basement of the church they an effcient blower & their air intake is protected by thick Fiberglass filters which will be changed every few months.
Insulation is critical and air intake is carefully controlled.
The air intake is designed for speeds of 800mph and above, so it is too small for high power at low speeds.
By relocating the air intake of the HVAC, the outdoor particle number and PM2.5 concentrations near the air intake were reduced by 35%and55%5%, respectively.
The numerical results indicate that the dynamical response and the stress at lower location of air intake are less than the upper location.
The intended purpose of physical model building for the cylinder air intake is prediction of the air intake rate and computation of optimal valve control action before a lot of effort is put into a real experiment at the engine test bench.
