Abstract
In an engine control device, a saturated water vapor pressure Ps is calculated from an intake temperature detected by an intake air temperature sensor. A water vapor partial pressure is worked out from the saturated water vapor pressure and humidity detected by a humidity sensor. A specific humidity q and a molar fraction are worked out from the water vapor partial pressure and an atmospheric pressure detected by an atmospheric pressure sensor. A moist air amount is calculated from an intake air amount detected by an AFS on the basis of the molar fraction, and a dry air amount is calculated from this moist air amount on the basis of the specific humidity. A fuel injection amount, an ignition timing, and a target throttle opening are then calculated on the basis of various operation information, using the moist air amount, the dry air amount, and the specific humidity.
