## Description

You can now bring industrial thermal engineering directly into your AI workflow. This MCP acts as a specialized calculator for fired heater design, allowing your agent to move past general reasoning and into precise thermal modeling. Instead of manually checking heat transfer equations, you can provide your heating duty, fluid properties, and fuel composition to get immediate, actionable sizing data.

Your agent uses this tool to determine the physical dimensions required for radiant sections and the specific configurations for tube coils. It also handles the efficiency side of the design, predicting stack exit temperatures and calculating the exact fuel mass or volume needed to meet your targets. It's built to handle the complex relationship between heating duty and environmental losses, making it a practical tool for equipment sizing and efficiency optimization in industrial settings.
