## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for designing electrowinning circuits used in metal recovery. It uses Faraday's Law to determine the electrical current needed for specific production rates via `calculate_production_current`. It also calculates the necessary cathode surface area using `design_cathode_surface`, determines physical cell configurations with `calculate_cell_dimensions`, and estimates energy needs through `estimate_power_requirements`.

## Tools

### calculate_cell_dimensions
Determines the physical configuration of the cell, including electrode spacing

### calculate_production_current
Determines the total electrical current required to achieve a specific metal production rate

### design_cathode_surface
Calculates the necessary cathode surface area based on desired current density

### estimate_power_requirements
Estimates the electrical energy consumption for the electrowinning process

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the required amperage for my production target?**
You can use the `calculate_production_current` tool by providing the target metal mass rate, the metal's electrochemical equivalent weight, and the expected current efficiency.

**Can I estimate the power consumption of my cell?**
Yes, the `estimate_power_requirements` tool allows you to calculate both the instantaneous power demand and the total energy consumption based on current, voltage, and operating hours.

**How is the cathode size determined?**
The cathode surface area is calculated using `design_cathode_surface` based on your required current and desired current density. You can then use `calculate_cell_dimensions` to find the physical length and volume.
