A refinery hydrocracker: heavy VGO (modeled as n-dodecane) plus excess H2 is cracked over catalyst into lighter products via a discrete lumped first-order kinetic network, then flashed to knock out recycle H2/light gas from the liquid product (Peng-Robinson). Conversion is set by reactor temperature and LHSV.

The flowsheet

The solved topology — every unit op's real duty, conversion, or split, read straight off a genuine converged solve.

The stream table

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