Abstract
A flow rate controller of an internal combustion engine includes a flow rate change section configured by including an EGR valve, a bypass valve, and a diesel throttle, as the flow rate change section capable of changing at least one of a flow rate of exhaust gas that is recirculated to an intake system from an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine via an EGR passage and a flow rate of fresh air that flows into the internal combustion engine. In addition, an ECU is included to realize: an arrival position determining section for determining an arrival position of condensed water in the EGR passage that is moved by the EGR at least either at the time of acceleration or at the time of deceleration of the internal combustion engine; and a control section for controlling the flow rate change section on the basis of the arrival position determined by the arrival position determining section.
