    Abstract: A control apparatus of an engine including an intake valve, an exhaust valve, and a variable valve timing mechanism for varying open and close timings of at least one of the intake and exhaust valves, is provided. The control apparatus includes a processor configured to execute a valve controlling module for performing, via the variable valve timing mechanism, a valve overlap in which the intake and exhaust valves are both opened on intake stroke of the engine, and a temperature estimating module for estimating a temperature of exhaust gas at a given location in the exhaust system by estimating a temperature increase of the exhaust gas caused by afterburn and accounting for the temperature increase, the afterburn occurring due to fresh air blowing through a cylinder of the engine to an exhaust system during the valve overlap.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for providing an engine supercharger of a reduced size allowing an exhaust gas to be introduced smoothly into a turbine scroll. A turbine for use in this supercharger includes: a turbine lead-in route, into which the exhaust gas is introduced; a turbine scroll formed continuously with the turbine lead-in route to allow the exhaust gas to swirl around inside; a turbine wheel to turn on an axis of rotation; a turbine lead-out route; a wastegate passage to bypass the exhaust gas around the turbine scroll; and a wastegate valve. The turbine lead-in route includes a throat portion having a tapered downstream portion. The wastegate passage branches from that throat portion.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for providing an engine supercharger allowing an exhaust gas to efficiently act on a turbine in a wide operating range. A turbine for use in a supercharger includes a turbine housing, a turbine scroll formed inside the housing continuously with a turbine lead-in route, and a turbine wheel to turn on an axis of rotation close to a tongue portion. The turbine lead-in route is partitioned by a partition wall into first and second lead-in routes. Exhaust variable valves are provided upstream of the second lead-in route in order to change the flow rate of the exhaust gas to be introduced. When viewed in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends, a downstream end of the partition is aligned with the axis of rotation and the tongue portion.
