Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied therein that, when executed by a computing system, causes the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a target engine outlet coolant temperature for a coolant in an engine system;
determining an adjustment to a temperature of the coolant based on an engine inlet coolant temperature and the target engine outlet coolant temperature, wherein the determination of the adjustment to the temperature of the coolant comprises utilizing a cascade control loop, the cascade control loop comprising an inner loop and an outer loop, wherein the inner loop is based on the engine inlet coolant temperature measured by an inlet sensor, and wherein the outer loop is based on an engine outlet coolant temperature measured by an outlet sensor; and
altering a flow of the coolant by controlling a coolant valve in response to the determination of the adjustment to the temperature of the coolant.
