Abstract
Dew condensation from Heated Papers in Multifunction Peripherals (MFPs) is a chronic problem. The purpose of this study is the development of a simulation technology that calculate the in the non-steady advection diffusion equation of water vapor and estimate the dew condensation distribution in MFPs. The authors defined the water vapor flux expression for the observed moisture content transition rate of a heated paper, and considers the boundary conditions as the moving papers. Calculation results of the dew condensation distribution differences by air flow and initial moisture content rate variations were consistent with the experiment. This Simulation anables to esimate tde dew consistent for the design of MFPs without actual prototyping.
