碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 機械與精密工程研究所 === 98 === This article is to analyze the behavior of air flow field in the desktop computer case with Fluent . To simulate the temperature dstributed of radiator fin with heat conduction , and compare with the acturally data . Force convection phenomena resulting from the fan blow to heat source is simulated with CFD . It is found that common desktop computer case part of heat exhaust form the PSU’s export fan .This situation for the PSU(Power Supply Unit) is not good to the heat transfer . This research is aimed at changing the placement of items within the source to be simulated , using an independent method of cooling , PSU will be placed with the major heat areas separated so that the CPU and PSU Regional separate space for their own heat , the heat of CPU does not affect the PSU , so that the computer to work long hours under the great colling , to increase the life of the computer.
