Exergy Transfer Analysis of Thermal Driving Oil Process

The signification of the exergy transfer phenomenological equation for multi-potential fields is introduced, and the concept of field influence factor of exergy transfer resistance is defined. Based on the analysis of the field structure for the thermal driving process, the exergy transfer analysis target is advanced, including the driving work (exergy), driving power (exergy flux), driving resistance (exergy resistance) and the field influence factor of exergy transfer resistance. In the end the aforementioned is illustrated with the hot water driving process. The numerical simulation result can reasonably illuminate the mechanism of some technical measures, such as high temperature decreases viscosity, high pressure gradient increases driving force, high pressure and low water rate decreases driving resistance.
