Benzene + 3 H₂ → cyclohexane in a conversion reactor, then a high-pressure flash recovers liquid cyclohexane and recycles the excess hydrogen (with a purge). The classic ChemSep recycle example — exercises reaction + recycle convergence.

The stream table

Every stream's flow, temperature, pressure, and composition — real converged numbers, not placeholders.
