## Description

This MCP server provides specialized thermodynamic tools for industrial gas compression design. It allows AI agents to calculate brake horsepower, discharge temperatures, and optimal multi-stage configurations for both reciprocating and centrifugal compressors. By using `evaluate_gas_properties`, agents can determine compressibility factors and molar masses for complex mixtures. The server also enables precise planning of cooling requirements through `estimate_intercooler_load` and full system layouts via `calculate_multi_stage_configuration`.

## Tools

### calculate_multi_stage_configuration
Determines the number of stages and intercoolers needed

### calculate_single_stage_performance
Calculates performance for a single compressor stage

### estimate_intercooler_load
Estimates the heat duty of an intercooler

### evaluate_gas_properties
Evaluates physical properties of a gas mixture

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the performance for a single stage of a centrifugal compressor with a flow rate of 50 kg/s, suction pressure of 10 bar, suction temperature of 300 K, discharge pressure of 50 bar, and a methane-rich composition.
```

**Response:** 
```
The single stage centrifugal compressor will require 1,250 kW of brake horsepower and will result in a discharge temperature of 485 K at a compression ratio of 5.0.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many stages are needed to compress gas from 1 bar to 20 bar if the max discharge temperature is 420 K?
```

**Response:** 
```
To reach 20 bar while staying below 420 K, the system requires 3 stages with 2 intercoolers.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the heat duty for an intercooler cooling gas from 450 K to 310 K at 15 bar?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated heat duty for the intercooler is 450 kW based on the provided flow rate and gas properties.
```
