A method of identifying a flaw in a part is provided that includes vibrating a part to induce heat. The heat originates in any flaws in the part. A thermal image is obtained using, for example, an infrared camera. A mathematical representation of the thermophysics, such as the heat conduction or thermal energy equations using the boundary element method or finite element method is used to identify a source and an intensity of the heat identified with the thermal image. Using the source and intensity of the heat, flaw characteristics for the part can be determined. The method is employed using an inspection system that includes a vibration device for vibrating the part. An imaging device, such as an infrared camera, measures temperature on the surface of the part. An assumption is made or additional measurements are taken to obtain values for surface flux or surface heat transfer coefficients. A processor communicates with the imaging device for receiving the surface temperature. The processor includes computer memory having part characteristics and mathematical equations. The processor uses the measured surface temperature, assumed or measured heat flux or heat transfer coefficients, part characteristics and mathematical equations to determine the flaw characteristics in the part.

The invention discloses a plate type heat exchanging element for evaporation and condensation, belonging to the technical field of engineering thermophysics and energy and utilization. The heat exchanging element is characterized in that a specially designed strengthening heat transfer structure is arranged on the heat transfer zone of the element; a structure protruding to the condensation side plays a role of fixing and turbulence and a structure protruding to the evaporation side is in an inward depression configuration so as to form more corning points; a narrow seam with microscale effect, which is designed aiming at working liquid, is arranged between the structure and a flat bar; the height of the structure is an optimized value which is calculated according to characteristic values of detached diameter and capillary length of the working liquid, so as to cause generated bubbles to continuously absorb heat to grow up in the process of sliding between the flat bars after detaching from the coring points, thereby taking more heat away, updating the passed surfaces and accelerating liquid convection. The invention has the effects and benefits that the evaporative condenser consisting of the provided elements is in direct immersion type, and has the advantages of high heat transfer coefficient, convenient unpick and wash, uneasy corrosion and low energy consumption.
