Abstract
In toner fusing techniques for electrophotographic machinery, the basic analysis of fusing phenomenon has been required. In the first place, it is necessary to understand the unsteady temperature field in the toner during fusing. Actually, the temperature variation is nonlinear with property changes according to melting. However, even the linear analysis of the temperature field has not been carried out because of the difficulty of the phenomenon. As the first approach to the analysis, the one-dimensional unsteady temperature distribution assumed to be the linear temperature field is analysed using finite element method. Heat flux which is supplied to the toner layer, thermal properties of the toner and paper, toner layer thickness, paper thickness and toner coverage are measured. The results of these measurements are used in the boundary condition and properties of FEM calculation. In this way, the temperature distribution during fusing is obtained.
