  • Publication number: 20230193845
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine control device 110 includes a mass flux calculation unit F2, an opening area calculation unit F3, an effective opening area calculation unit F4, and a passing gas flow rate calculation unit F5. The mass flux calculation unit F2 calculates a mass flux MF of gas passing through a throttle valve 125 based on an upstream gas temperature Tu, an upstream gas pressure Pu, and a downstream gas pressure Pd of the throttle valve 125. The opening area calculation unit F3 calculates an opening area A of the throttle valve 125 based on an opening degree ? of the throttle valve 125. The effective opening area calculation unit F4 calculates an effective opening area EA of the throttle valve 125 based on the upstream gas pressure Pu, the downstream gas pressure Pd, the opening degree ?, and the opening area A. The passing gas flow rate calculation unit F5 calculates a gas flow rate GF passing through the throttle valve 125 based on the mass flux MF and the effective opening area EA.

  • Publication number: 20230079934
    Abstract: Provided is a control device of an internal combustion engine capable of increasing the temperature of a catalyst and the temperature of coolant more efficient1y than a conventional waste heat control device. A control device acquires a coolant temperature T_cw and a catalyst temperature T_cat of an exhaust system and controls an ignition timing ? of the internal combustion engine. The control device executes coolant heating control for increasing the energy distribution from the internal combustion engine to the coolant when the coolant temperature T_cw is equal to or less than a first threshold, and catalyst heating control for increasing the energy distribution from the internal combustion engine to the exhaust gas when the catalyst temperature T_cat is equal to or less than a second threshold.
