air flow meter — A meter which measures the rate at which air enters the engine. In Bosch systems, any device that measures the amount of air being used by the engine. The control unit uses this information to determine the load on the engine. The two most common … Dictionary of automotive terms
Volumetric flow rate — The volumetric flow rate in fluid dynamics and hydrometry, (also known as volume flow rate or rate of fluid flow) is the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time (for example cubic meters per second [m3 s 1] in SI units … Wikipedia
Mass flow sensor — A mass airflow sensor. A mass air flow sensor is used to find out the mass flowrate of air entering a fuel injected internal combustion engine. The air mass information is necessary for the engine control unit (ECU) to balance and deliver the… … Wikipedia
Air dryer — A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities. The process of air compression concentrates atmospheric… … Wikipedia
Flow measurement — is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured in a variety of ways. Positive displacement flow meters acumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Other flow… … Wikipedia
Mass flow — Mass flow, also known as mass transfer and bulk flow, is the movement of material matter. In physics, mass flow occurs in open systems and is often measured as occurring when moving across a certain boundary characterized by its cross sectional… … Wikipedia
Air permeability specific surface — The air permeability specific surface of a powder material is a single parameter measurement of the fineness of the powder. The specific surface is derived from the resistance to flow of air (or some other gas) through a porous bed of the powder … Wikipedia
Flow sensor — A flow sensor is a device for sensing the rate of fluid flow. Typically a flow sensor is the sensing element used in a flow meter, or flow logger, to record the flow of fluids.As is true for all sensors, absolute accuracy of a measurement… … Wikipedia
Air-fuel ratio — (AFR) is the mass ratio of air to fuel present during combustion. When all the fuel is combined with all the free oxygen, typically within a vehicle s combustion chamber,the mixture is chemically balanced and this AFR is called the stoichiometric … Wikipedia
Mass wasting — at Palo Duro Canyon, West Texas (2002) … Wikipedia
mass production — the production or manufacture of goods in large quantities, esp. by machinery. [1915 20] * * * Application of the principles of specialization, division of labour, and standardization of parts to the manufacturing of goods on a large scale.… … Universalium
