A control device predicts whether temporary reduction occurs to a charging efficiency of fresh air in an in-cylinder gas by an influence of an EGR rate of the in-cylinder gas, which increases later than increase of a charging efficiency of the in-cylinder gas, if a first arithmetic operation is applied to calculating a target throttle opening degree based on a target charging efficiency which is increasing, in a case of shifting to an acceleration operation, by using a prediction model expressing dynamic characteristics of an internal combustion engine. When it is predicted that temporary reduction occurs to the charging efficiency of the fresh air, the control device calculates the target throttle opening degree by a second arithmetic operation by which an increase speed of a throttle opening degree is restrained more than by the first arithmetic operation, instead of calculating the target throttle opening degree by the first arithmetic operation.

Power plants using multiple identical engine block assemblies to form multiple engines, each contributing to a common output or outputs, and each using an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold and an air rail. Air is first compressed by some engine cylinders and delivered to the air rail, and then coupled to combustion cylinders from the air rail. Compressions and combustion may be in the same cylinders, the same engine block assembly but different cylinders or in different engine block assemblies. Multiple engines in the power plants are less costly than single large engines because of the quantity of manufacture and ease of maintenance. Various embodiments are disclosed.
