Abstract
Visualization and its image processing technique for PIV(particle image velocimetry) are carried out to apply the flow problems in the console. Recently, cooling problems caused engineers great efforts to solve for various electronic equipment, especially for OA equipment, such as copying machines and printers which have fixing process with high temperature. The whole flow field inside the console. is difficult to know by a numerical simulation and a common measurement for its complicate geometry, though analyzing the precise characteristics of the flow is important for energy management. PIV is a suitable flow measurement system for such flow problems.
