Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) is an attractive technology for large-scale (TWh) renewable energy storage. To ensure the safety and efficiency of the UHS, it is crucial to quantify the H2 interactions with the reservoir fluids and rocks across scales, including the micro scale. This paper reports the experimental measurements of advancing and receding contact angles for different channel widths for a H2/water system at P = 10 bar and T = 20 °C using a microfluidic chip. To analyse the characteristics of the H2 flow in straight pore throats, the network is designed such that it holds several straight channels. More specifically, the width of the microchannels range between 50 μm and 130 μm. For the drainage experiments, H2 is injected into a fully water saturated system, while for the imbibition tests, water is injected into a fully H2-saturated system. For both scenarios, high-resolution images are captured starting the introduction of the new phase into the system, allowing for fully-dynamic transport analyses. For better insights, N2/water and CO2/water flows were also analysed and compared with H2/water. Results indicate strong water-wet conditions with H2/water advancing and receding contact angles of, respectively, 13°–39°, and 6°–23°. It was found that the contact angles decrease with increasing channel widths. The receding contact angle measured in the 50 μm channel agrees well with the results presented in the literature by conducting a core-flood test for a sandstone rock. Furthermore, the N2/water and CO2/water systems showed similar characteristics as the H2/water system. In addition to the important characterization of the dynamic wettability, the results are also crucially important for accurate construction of pore-scale simulators.

基于微流体的地下储氢动态接触角分析

地下储氢 (UHS) 是一项极具吸引力的大规模 (TWh) 可再生能源储存技术。为确保 UHS 的安全性和效率,量化 H2与储层流体和岩石的跨尺度相互作用,包括微观尺度。本文报告了使用微流控芯片在 P = 10 bar 和 T = 20 °C 下对 H 2 /水系统的不同通道宽度的前进和后退接触角的实验测量。为了分析直孔喉中 H 2流动的特征,网络被设计成具有多个直通道。更具体地说,微通道的宽度在 50μ米和130μ米。对于排水实验,H 2被注入完全水饱和的系统中,而对于渗吸试验,水被注入完全H 2饱和的系统中。对于这两种情况,在将新阶段引入系统时都会捕获高分辨率图像,从而进行全动态传输分析。为了更好地了解,还分析了 N 2 /water 和 CO 2 /water 流量,并与 H 2 /water 进行了比较。结果表明 H 的强水湿条件2/水前进和后退接触角分别为13°–39°和6°–23°。发现接触角随着通道宽度的增加而减小。在 50 度测量的后退接触角μ通过对砂岩岩石进行岩心驱替试验,m 通道与文献中提出的结果非常吻合。此外,N 2 /water 和 CO 2 /water 系统表现出与 H 相似的特征。2/水系统。除了动态润湿性的重要表征外,结果对于精确构建孔隙尺度模拟器也至关重要。
