Temp change in a restrictive conduit.

Temp change in a restrictive conduit.

Temp change in a restrictive conduit.

(OP)
The conduit that feeds a turbocharger, is extremely restrictive.  Experimentally, determined that 4 psi is lost in this piece of plumbing, that connects the ambient supply to the compressor.

My question is, what would the temperature change be?  Assume ambient of 100 F, at sea level.  Is there not a temp increase due to friction?  A temp decrease due to lowered pressure?  Thanks

RE: Temp change in a restrictive conduit.

How long is your conduit?  What is the fluid temperature?
