Abstract: A method for controlling a speed of a turbocharger that is in operative connection with a compressor, the steps including: provision of a setpoint for the speed of the turbocharger on the basis of a model-based precontrol for a calculation of a desired boost pressure ahead of the turbocharger; determination of an actual value for the speed of the turbocharger; control of an actuator of the turbocharger in order to compensate for the difference between the desired value and the actual value for the speed of the turbocharger. Amain signal and a subsidiary signal are provided during the determination of the actual value for the speed of the turbocharger, wherein the main signal and the subsidiary signal are combined in order to validate the actual value for the speed of the turbocharger.

Abstract: A method for dynamic gas partial pressure correction of an internal combustion engine with external mixture formation. A mixture formation is carried out in an intake manifold upstream of the cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and in which in addition to the gas partial pressure of the fresh air flowing continuously into the intake manifold, the gas partial pressure of the fuel, fed discontinuously into the intake manifold, is also taken into account. The gas partial pressure of the fuel, fed into the intake manifold, said pressure which is assumed to be stationary as a function of determined parameters, is dynamically adjusted for each of the cylinder-individual, temporally successive injections, discharged into the intake manifold, by means of a correction factor and a fresh air correction filling value.
