Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a control device for an engine that enables precise control of the equivalence ratio. The system from the fuel injection amount to the output from a LAF sensor is modeled as an injection amount-sensor output model by means of a model equation containing model parameters and a lag coefficient. The system from the equivalence ratio to the LAF sensor output is modeled as a port equivalence ratio-sensor output model by means of a model equation containing the lag coefficient. The control device is equipped with: a feedback-use identifier that successively identifies values for the model parameters; a LAF lag compensation-use identifier that successively identifies values for the lag coefficient; and a stoichiometric driving mode controller that determines the value of a fuel injection amount.

Abstract: The neutron irradiation apparatus includes an introduction tube for introducing a proton beam, a target structure provided in a lower end of the introduction tube, an aluminum fluoride layer disposed below the target structure in an irradiation path of neutrons generated in the target structure, and a heavy water layer placed under the aluminum fluoride layer in layers. The aluminum fluoride layer is set at a thickness that increases epithermal neutrons. Since use of only the aluminum fluoride layer increases its thickness too much, heavy water is placed. Heavy water moderates neutrons quickly, and allows increasing epithermal neutrons without increasing the thickness. The combination of the aluminum fluoride layer and the heavy water layer allows increasing epithermal neutrons by attenuating only fast neutrons without increasing thermal neutrons. Accordingly, neutron flux with many epithermal neutrons is obtained.
