- the estimation of the flow of recirculated low pressure gas through the recirculation channel can be obtained by applying a Saint Venant equation, from the measurement of the differential pressure (diffPegr_bp) across the EGR valve by a differential sensor and the measurement of temperature by a temperature sensor (Tegr_bp).
