## Description

This MCP server provides engineering tools to design fermentation vessels. It calculates required working volumes using `calculate_reactor_volume`, evaluates biological oxygen needs with `evaluate_oxygen_demand`, and determines mechanical requirements via `design_agitation_system`. Finally, use `validate_design_feasibility` to ensure the design meets all biological and physical constraints.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the reactor volume for a batch process with a production rate of 50 units/h, growth kinetics of { "maxGrowthRate": 0.5, "yieldPerCell": 0.1 }, and a target concentration of 10.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required working volume is 500 liters, with a total vessel capacity of 625 liters including a safety factor.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the oxygen uptake rate for a biomass concentration of 5.0 and a specific uptake rate of 0.02?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total oxygen uptake rate is 0.1 units per unit of time.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Determine the agitation speed for a target OTR of 0.5, kLa of 0.1, viscosity of 1.2, and vessel geometry of { "diameter": 2, "impellerDiameter": 0.8 }.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required agitation speed is 120 RPM, providing an impeller power of 15.5 kW.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the necessary vessel size?**
Use the `calculate_reactor_volume` tool by providing the production rate, growth kinetics, operation mode, and target concentration.

**Can I check if my design will fail due to oxygen limits?**
Yes, use `validate_design_feasibility` to check if the oxygen demand exceeds the transfer capability or if tip speed exceeds shear tolerance.

**What modes of fermentation are supported?**
The tools support batch, fed-batch, and continuous fermentation modes.
