Abstract (en)

In a combustion temperature estimation method for an internal combustion engine, upon each arrival of fuel injection start timing, the pre-combustion temperature of cylinder interior gas at the time of ignition (ignition-time compressed cylinder interior gas temperature Tpump) is estimated on the basis of the fact that the state of the cylinder interior gas changes adiabatically. The quantity of heat generated as a result of combustion of fuel is divided by the product of the post-combustion mole amount and constant-pressure specific heat of the cylinder interior gas, which can be obtained from the concentration proportions of gas components contained in intake gas, to thereby estimate an increase in temperature of the cylinder interior gas stemming from combustion (combustion ascribable temperature increase DELTA Tburn). Further, an increase in temperature of the cylinder interior gas stemming from an increase in combustion speed (combustion-speed ascribable temperature increase DELTA Tb_velo) is estimated on the basis of fuel injection pressure and engine speed, which are factors which influence the combustion speed. Then, the highest combustion temperature Tflame is estimated by the equation Tflame = Tpump + DELTA Tburn + DELTA Tb_velo. <IMAGE>
