## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing crystallization processes. It allows AI agents to calculate critical parameters such as vessel sizing, thermal loads, and nucleation risks by applying crystallization kinetics. Use `calculate_vessel_sizing` to determine physical equipment dimensions, `calculate_thermal_requirements` to find necessary cooling or heating capacity, `evaluate_nucleation_risk` to prevent excessive fines, and `optimize_residence_time` to ensure target crystal sizes are met.

## Tools

### calculate_thermal_requirements
Calculates the heating or cooling capacity needed to drive the crystallization

### calculate_vessel_sizing
Determines the required physical size of the crystallizer based on production needs and growth kinetics

### evaluate_nucleation_risk
Assesses whether the current design will result in excessive fines due to high nucleation rates

### optimize_residence_time
Finds the ideal duration for crystals to remain in the vessel to meet size targets

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What size vessel do I need for a production rate of 500 kg/h with a target crystal size of 0.5 mm, a growth rate of 0.01 mm/h, and a residence time of 10 hours?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required vessel volume is 1250 liters with a minimum height of 2.5 meters to accommodate the production and growth kinetics.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the cooling power needed for a production of 200 kg/h with a solubility delta of 50 and a specific heat capacity of 4.18.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required cooling power is 4180 kW with a temperature gradient of 15 degrees.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a risk of high nucleation if my supersaturation is 0.8, nucleation rate is 0.5, and growth rate is 0.1?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, there is a high risk of producing excessive fines because the nucleation rate is significantly higher than the growth rate.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the size of my crystallizer?**
You can use the `calculate_vessel_sizing` tool. Provide the production rate, target mean size, growth rate, and required residence time to get the volume and height requirements.

**Can this tool help prevent small, unwanted crystals?**
Yes. By using `evaluate_nucleation_risk`, you can assess if your supersaturation levels and nucleation rates will lead to excessive fines.

**How is the thermal load calculated?**
The `calculate_thermal_requirements` tool calculates the necessary cooling or heating power based on solubility delta, production rate, and specific heat capacity.
