Mass air flow (MAF) sensors are crucial for your vehicle's engine to perform well. They measure the air volume entering the engine, ensuring the air-fuel mixture is optimal for combustion. This balance is vital for efficient engine operation and power. MAF sensors are located between the air filter and the intake manifold. They help maintain the right air-fuel ratio in the engine's combustion chamber. 5, record 1, English, - mass%20air%20flow%20sensor

Le débitmètre d’air est une pièce mécanique ayant pour objectif de mesurer la masse d’air(ainsi que sa température) pénétrant dans le moteur(admission d’air) afin de transmettre cette information au calculateur moteur. Il est donc placé sur la durite d’admission entre le filtre à air et le boîtier papillon afin d’effectuer des relevés précis. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A8tre%20d%26rsquo%3Bair%20massique

A coal microlithotype that contains a combination of inertinite and exinite. 2, record 2, English, - durite
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term microlithotype was developed to permit the designation of rock types within coal that are at a microscopic scale and their definition is based on maceral percentages. All macerals have a suffix "-inite" and microlithotypes have the suffix "-ite." Thus, layers greater than 0.05 mm in thickness and consisting of greater than 95% vitrinite are termed vitrite. Bimaceral (clarite, durite and vitrinertite) and trimaceral (duroclarite and clarodurite) microlithotypes have names that are derived from lithotypes rather than macerals. 3, record 2, English, - durite
