    Abstract: A physics-based charge temperature model to calculate a charge air temperature for an automobile vehicle includes multiple variables. The multiple variables include: a first variable defining an engine speed of an engine defining revolutions per minute of a crankshaft of the engine; a second variable defining a cam position; a third variable defining an engine coolant temperature; a fourth variable defining an air intake temperature; a fifth variable defining an engine air flow; and a sixth variable defining a firing fraction of the engine. A controller provides multiple lookup tables. The controller controls operation of the engine using the multiple variables and data in the multiple lookup tables to calculate a charge air temperature for individual intake strokes of at least one cylinder of the engine.

    Abstract: An engine control system includes a prediction module that, during an exhaust stroke of a first cylinder of an engine, determines a predicted intake manifold pressure at an end of a next intake stroke of a second cylinder following the first cylinder in a firing order of the cylinders. An air per cylinder (APC) module determines a predicted mass of air that will be trapped within the second cylinder at the end of the next intake stroke of the second cylinder based on the predicted intake manifold pressure. A fueling module controls fueling of the second cylinder during the next intake stroke based on the predicted mass of air.

    Abstract: Computational models and calculations relating to trapped and scavenged air per cylinder (APC) improve scavenging and non-scavenging operational modes of internal combustion engines as well as the transition there-between. Data from sensors which include engine speed, manifold air pressure, barometric pressure, crankshaft position, and valve state are provided to a pair of artificial neural networks. A first neural network utilizes this data to calculate the nominal volume of gas, i.e., air trapped in the cylinder. A second neural network utilizes this data to calculate the trapping ratio. The output of the first network is utilized with the ideal gas law to calculate the actual mass of trapped APC. The actual mass of trapped APC is also divided by the trapping ratio calculated by the second network to determine the total APC and is further utilized to calculate the scavenged APC by subtracting the trapped APC from the total APC.
