Abstract: A reciprocating internal combustion engine includes an in-cylinder pressure sensor and a crank angle sensor. Data of calculated heat release amount in synchronization with crank angle is calculated using in-cylinder pressure after absolute pressure correction. An amount of heat release amount variation is calculated as a difference between a first calculated heat release amount at a first crank angle on an advanced side of TDC and a second calculated heat release amount at a second crank angle symmetrical about TDC. An actual heat release amount is estimated based on the amount of heat release amount variation calculated using, as the first crank angle, a crank angle on an advanced side of a combustion start point and using, as the second crank angle, a crank angle on a retarded side of a combustion end point.
