Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus, systems, and methods for characterizing fluid-solid systems. In an embodiment, a method includes placing a porous rock sample in a core holder, contacting the porous rock sample with a fluid to create a fluid-solid system inside the core holder, automatically adjusting a temperature and/or pressure of the fluid-solid system to a preselected value via a processor and at least one automated valve, monitoring the fluid-solid system for equilibrium, recording a value for temperature, pressure, and/or mass of the fluid-solid system, performing an action based on the recorded data, and repeating the adjusting, monitoring, recording, and performing operations to produce a thermodynamic data characteristic of the fluid-solid system. In one example, the performing operation includes analyzing a pressure signal for stationarity by performing an Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and/or a Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems, devices, and methods to model fluid flow in a porous medium. In an embodiment, a microfluidic device to model subterranean fluid flow is disclosed. The device includes a mold of solid material, the mold including a field of pores and throats formed in the mold for mimicking a porous rock formation, a peripheral channel formed in the mold for mimicking a fluid reservoir, and an interior channel formed in the mold for mimicking a well. The peripheral channel can trace a perimeter or circumference of the field of pores and throats and be in fluid communication with the pores and throats.
