Ledinegg Instability: Operating Points and Stability Analysis

This lecture covers the Ledinegg instability in heat exchangers, focusing on the flux redistribution instability. It explains the Ledinegg stability criterion, static instability arguments, and the graphical analysis of stability for different power ratings. The instructor discusses the mass flow rate determination, pressure difference due to friction, and the evolution of the system with varying thermal power. The lecture concludes with the examination of possible operating points and the maximum heating capacity to prevent accidents.
