recirculation
Flowing around again
Recirculation is the process of circulating something again through a system.
Air conditioners recirculate indoor air rather than drawing fresh air from outside.
Blood recirculates through the body.
The term appears in engineering, HVAC systems, and aquariums: The pump handles water recirculation for the tank.
Figuratively, ideas or content may recirculate through social networks.
