## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing Dense Media Separation (DMS) circuits used in mineral processing. It allows users to calculate necessary equipment dimensions for cyclones or drums, determine optimal media properties including viscosity impact, and estimate separation efficiency and recovery rates. Use `optimize_circuit_design` to verify the feasibility of a complete design based on ore density, throughput, and target cut points.

## Tools

### calculate_equipment_dimensions
Determines the necessary physical size of the separation vessel (cyclone or drum) to handle the specified ore flow

### determine_media_properties
Calculates the ideal media density and evaluates the impact of viscosity on the separation process

### evaluate_separation_performance
Estimates the efficiency and recovery capabilities of the proposed design

### optimize_circuit_design
Provides a high-level summary and optimization check for a full set of design parameters

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What size cyclone do I need for 50 tph throughput with an ore density of 2.8 and media density of 2.5?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a throughput of 50 tph, the required cyclone will have a diameter of 450mm, a height of 1200mm, and a volume of 1.9m³.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the media properties for a sink-float density of 2.6 and ore density of 2.9 with a viscosity of 0.05.
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal media density is 2.65, with a stability index of 0.85 and a viscosity impact factor of 0.92.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a design with 100 tph throughput, 2.7 cut point, 3.0 ore density, and 2.6 media density feasible for a drum?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the design is feasible. The recommended diameter is 2200mm with an estimated separation efficiency of 94%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I size a cyclone for my ore flow?**
You can use the `calculate_equipment_dimensions` tool. Provide the throughput, ore density, media density, and specify 'cyclone' as the equipment type.

**Can I check if my design is feasible?**
Yes, the `optimize_circuit_design` tool performs a high-level optimization check to verify if the media density and equipment dimensions support the target separation.

**How is separation efficiency calculated?**
The `evaluate_separation_performance` tool estimates efficiency based on the density difference between the ore and the medium, as well as the media recovery rate.
