A discrete particle model for simulating an accurate temperature field for a toner particle packed bed during fusing has been proposed. Several toner particle arrays consisted of one to three particles are separately built on a paper surface. Particle-particle and particle-paper are thermally connected via contact resistance. Thermal contact conditions are theoretically examined for obtaining the contact resistance. In the examination, a contact area is derived from electrostatic force acting to the particle and Hertz's equation. The calculations of the temperature field have been carried out by a finite difference method. The calculated result, under a condition that the contact resistance decreases during fusing, indicates excellent agreement with experimental result. It is revealed that the contact resistance and its decrease during fusing play an important role for the heat conduction in the toner packed bed, which has been less considered in the current analysis.
