The standard way to evaluate the solid surface energy using probe liquids relies on contact angle measurements. The measured contact angles rely on visible means and are different from their nanoscopic thermodynamic values. This compromises the surface-energy predictions so much that the surface energy-values can be hundreds of percentages higher than expected based on comparisons with different methods as reported in several studies. We consider the Owen-Wendt approach, which breaks the surface energy to polar and dispersive components, and present a technique for measuring surface energy of solids using probe liquids. Our method avoids the need to measure contact angles; instead, it uses solid-liquid work of adhesion measurements which are performed using a centrifugal adhesion balance. In agreement with the studies mentioned above, we found that indeed, the surface energies of the measured solids are significantly lower than those based on contact angle measurements. More importantly we found that our method results in a reasonable breakdown of the surface energy to polar and dispersive components with a higher polar component for more polar solids. This is in contrast with the surface energy based on contact angle measurements for which the breakdown did not make sense, i.e., the measurements reflected higher polar components of the surface energy for less polar solids.

Flow and dissolution induce wormholes in porous rocks, which lead to a substantial increase in both permeability and flow heterogeneity of the rock formation. Wormholes originate from the initial micron-scale pore networks, and gradually transition to more prominent millimeter-scale holes. Wormholes have a crucial impact on the flow and reactions in subsurface technologies, such as critical mineral leaching, CO2 storage and reservoir stimulation. Understanding how wormholes form from pore networks is crucial for the effectiveness of these subsurface technologies. However, current studies are limited to two separate scales of characterizations: millimeter-scale wormholes and micron-scale pore networks. The transitional region, which bridges these features at the two scales, remains largely unexplored and inadequately characterized. This knowledge gap obscures our understanding of the underpinning physics that governs wormhole formation in porous rocks. In this study, we aim to bridge these two scales of study with multiscale characterization. We create wormholes in porous gypsum specimens through core flood tests. The wormholes are then scanned with low-resolution (26.70 µm) and high-resolution (3.43 µm) X-ray computed tomography (CT). We quantitatively characterize the geometry of the wormholes leading to pore networks regarding their diameters, and quantities. This 3D cross-scale characterization allows for an accurate depiction of the interactions between wormholes and pore networks and provides physical insights into the initiation of wormholes.
