In the oil industry, the solids control step is of fundamental importance, as it aims to recover the drilling fluid for reuse in the process and adapt the solid material for an environmentally correct disposal. The vibrating screen is the first equipment used in solids control and its function is to reduce as much as possible the fluid content in the solid destined for the next stages of solids control. Thus, it can be seen that the optimal functioning of the vibrating screen benefits the entire solids control stage. The format of the movement performed by the machine is one of the design elements that interfere in the separation result. In view of the above, this work aims to characterize the movement and evaluate the effect of operational variables on the movement of a vibrating sieve. Results show that the equipment presents progressive elliptical movement, corroborating information provided by the manufacturer, and that the movement is greatly influenced by the presence or absence of fluid on the screen, however, once filled with fluid, variations in operating conditions do not significantly affect the movement.

Article InformationThe sterilization process of canned foods in retorts is widely used in the food industry for preservation purposes. Accurate temperature distribution during the process is crucial for determining optimal sterilization parameters. This study proposes estimating the thermal diffusivity as a function of temperature, which proves to be more reliable for heat transfer by diffusion compared to using a constant value. A high-precision finite volume method is employed to solve the governing differential equation, minimizing numerical errors in parameter estimation. The main result demonstrates that the utilization of temperaturedependent thermal diffusivity reduces the simulated temperature error compared to experimental data by nearly nine times, highlighting its fidelity to the actual heat transfer process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
