1) TMAX can mean in french :temperature maximum(highest temperature)

2)its a famous 500cc Yamaha scooter(the best scoote

time maximum at the constant concentration level

2009's are 46 horses

501 is evenly divisible by 3, 167, 501 and 1.

501 / 3 = 167

501 / 167 = 3

501 / 501 = 1

501 / 1 = 501

tMax is the temperature at which maximum hydrocarbons are emitted during the S2 phase of pyrolysis. During the S2 phase, only kerogen is emitted as all other hydrocarbons should have been released during the S1 phase.

A higher tMax indicates that the kerogen required higher pyrolysis temperatures to crack. A lower tMax indicates that the kerogen requires lower pyrolysis temperatures to crack.

Kerogen cracked at lower temperatures (lower tMax) is more immature since it did not encounter equal temperatures/pressures in situ. Kerogen cracked at higher temperatures is said to be more mature, since all easily accessible kerogen was already cracked in situ (indicating a prolonged exposure to heat and pressure).
