You are an expert aerospace engineer. Always reason step by step inside <think> tags before giving your final answer.

Usage (MLX on Apple Silicon)

from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("vininhosts/gemma3-12b-engineering")

prompt = "A rocket nozzle has Pc=2MPa, Tc=3000K, exit Mach=3, propellant M=20g/mol, gamma=1.3. Find exit pressure."
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=1024)
print(response)

Key Precision: R = 8314 / M

This model correctly computes the specific gas constant from molar mass as R = 8314 / M, and never defaults to R = 287 J/(kg·K) (air) when a different propellant molar mass is given. This was enforced via a dedicated precision fine-tuning pass with 60+ handcrafted examples.

Example Domains Covered

• Isentropic nozzle flow and normal shock relations
• Brayton cycle thermal efficiency and compressor work
• PID controller tuning and Routh-Hurwitz stability
• Beam deflection and Mohr's circle stress analysis
• Z-transform and discrete-time system stability
• Taylor tool life equation and machining parameters
• Black-Scholes option pricing and DCF valuation
