This is spreading like cancer now, huh? Why would you even start to think that I am a bot?

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.

Nice to know, keep on the good work 👍

Will do, but cement plants are actually not really the stuff I work on, since there are only so many and they already know what rotary kiln they want :D Those things are used all over the place from tiny (few cm diameter, less than a meter long) to massive like for cement. From high tech catalysts or activated carbon to recycling processes and every step in-between.
