## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to calculate the mechanical and thermodynamic requirements of gas compression systems. It allows AI agents to determine the number of compression stages needed, calculate total power requirements, and evaluate intercooling needs based on gas properties and suction/discharge conditions. Use `determine_multi_stage_configuration` to find the optimal stage count and `calculate_total_system_power` to find the required mechanical drive power.

## Tools

### calculate_single_stage_parameters
Determines the thermodynamic outcomes of a single compression step

### calculate_total_system_power
Calculates the total mechanical power required to drive the entire compressor string

### determine_multi_stage_configuration
Decides how many stages are required and how the pressure should be distributed

### evaluate_intercooling_requirements
Analyzes if intercooling is necessary and determines the temperature drop needed

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many stages do I need for a total pressure ratio of 10 if the max ratio per stage is 3?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 3 stages to maintain a compression ratio per stage that does not exceed 3.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the power for a system with a mass flow of 5 kg/s and the provided stage configuration.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total power requirement for the compressor string is 450.5 kW.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will I need intercooling if my max discharge temperature is 400K?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, intercooling is required because the calculated discharge temperature exceeds 400K.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the number of stages required?**
You can use the `determine_multi_stage_configuration` tool by providing the total pressure ratio and the maximum allowable compression ratio per stage.

**Can this tool calculate the power needed for the compressor?**
Yes, the `calculate_total_system_power` tool calculates the total mechanical power required based on the stage configuration, gas properties, and mass flow rate.

**How is intercooling evaluated?**
The `evaluate_intercooling_requirements` tool checks if discharge temperatures exceed your specified limit and determines the necessary temperature drop between stages.
