Abstract

(1) To address issues such as a low compression ratio and severe leakage in uniform wall thickness vortex compressors, this paper adopts a new scroll compressor model with a variable diameter double arc combined profile, which has a larger pressure ratio and smaller leakage than the scroll compressor with equal wall thickness that can bring new ideas and methods to the research in the field of scroll compressors. (2) This paper determines the theoretical equation of the variable diameter dual circular arc vortex profile and the combined profile, and infers mathematical models for the leakage line length, working chamber volume, and gas leakage per unit rotation angle of the vortex compressor, followed by simulation. (3) The results show that compared to the uniform wall thickness involute profile, the variable diameter dual circular arc combined profile model reduces the leakage line length by 25%, increases the average total pressure at the working chamber outlet by 2.38%, and decreases the leakage amount by 3.2%, consistent with theoretical analysis. (4) The tangential leakage caused by the radial gap in the variable diameter dual circular arc combined profile model has a significant impact on the uneven distribution of temperature and velocity fields in the working chamber of the vortex compressor, but a smaller impact on the pressure field.

Abstract

Primary Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission is an important driver of the global epidemic of resistance to tuberculosis drugs. A few studies have compared tuberculosis infection in contacts of index cases with different drug-resistant profiles, suggesting that contacts of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis cases are at higher risk. Repeated tuberculosis exposure in contacts of MDR tuberculosis patients through recurrent tuberculosis may modify this relationship. We compared tuberculosis infection in household contacts of MDR and drug-susceptible (DS) tuberculosis patients from six cities in southeastern China and investigated whether repeated tuberculosis exposure was a mediating factor. Tuberculosis infection was defined as a tuberculin skin test induration ≥ 10 mm. In all, 111 (28.0%) of 397 household contacts of MDR tuberculosis patients and 165 (24.7%) of 667 contacts of DS tuberculosis index cases were infected with tuberculosis. In a multivariate model not including the previous tuberculosis exposure, contacts of MDR tuberculosis patients had a higher likelihood of tuberculosis infection (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.37; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01–1.84; P = 0.041). In a separate multivariate model adjusted for the previous tuberculosis exposure, the odds ratio of tuberculosis infection flipped and contacts of MDR cases were now at lower risk for tuberculosis infection (AOR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.38–0.81; P = 0.003). These findings suggest prior tuberculosis exposure in contacts strongly mediates the relationship between tuberculosis infection and the index drug resistance profile. Prior studies showing lower risk of developing tuberculosis among contacts of MDR tuberculosis patients may be partially explained by a lower rate of tuberculosis infection at baseline.
