# Flare Radiation Modeling MCP. AI Agent Connect

> Flare Radiation Modeling MCP provides technical simulation tools for flare systems based on API 521 standards. Your AI client can model thermal radiation intensity, identify safety exclusion zones for personnel and equipment, and determine required stack heights by accounting for gas composition, mass flow rates, wind tilt, and solar radiation.

## Description

You can now run complex flare system simulations directly through your AI client. This MCP applies API 521 standards to your technical workflows, allowing you to model thermal radiation intensity and safety requirements without manual calculation. It handles the heavy lifting of accounting for gas composition, mass flow rates, and wind-induced flame tilt. You can use it to identify necessary exclusion zones to keep personnel and equipment safe from heat. It also calculates the minimum stack height needed to meet specific safety criteria. Instead of jumping between spreadsheets and manual formulas, you simply provide the parameters to your agent and get precise, standard-compliant results.

## Tools

### calculate_radiation_intensity
This tool determines the thermal radiation flux at a specific coordinate relative to the flare.

### calculate_required_stack_height
Use this to find the minimum height a flare stack must reach to satisfy safety standards.

### determine_exclusion_zones
This tool identifies the safety radii needed to protect personnel and equipment from heat.

### get_gas_energy_content
This tool retrieves the specific energy or heating value for a given gas mixture.

## Prompt Examples

```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated radiation intensity at 50 meters is 4.2 kW/m².
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the required stack height for an elevated flare to keep ground radiation below 1.5 kW/m² given a 10 kg/s flow rate and 5 m/s wind.
```

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your AI client and start running simulations through natural language.

1. Connect your AI client to the Vinkius hosted MCP.
2. Provide gas composition, flow rates, or wind speeds to your agent.
3. The agent uses the specific API 521 tools to run the math.
4. Receive precise radiation, height, or zone data immediately.
