      i completely agree LLMs are great tools.
      " … rotary kiln simulation … "
      Long ago i visited a cement plant and there were no insulation on this huge metallic tube where they were cooking of calcium oxide (++) to produce clincher(klinker?) and i was thinking that there should be a lot of possible optimizations … like having a counter flow process to recuperate heat while the klinker(?) is cooling …

        The insulation is on the inside, the steel on the outside needs to be cold to bear the load. This is a limiting factor for indirectly fired rotary kilns.

        They do all of what you say, generally really well optimized, since even tiny improvements mean large savings.
