Abstract
A control system and a control method for an internal combustion engine, which are capable of accurately calculating an in-cylinder gas amount and an EGR ratio by a relatively simple method even in a case where an in-cylinder gas temperature is changed by execution of internal EGR, and properly controlling the engine using the EGR ratio thus calculated. An in-cylinder gas amount Gact actually filled in the cylinder is calculated by correcting an ideal in-cylinder gas amount Gth, which is an amount of gases filled in a cylinder in an ideal state in which it is assumed that no exhaust gases of the engine are recirculated into the cylinder, using an ideal in-cylinder gas temperature Tcylth according to an in-cylinder gas temperature Tcyl, and an EGR ratio REGRT is calculated using the in-cylinder gas amount Gact and an intake air amount Gaircyl.
