## Description

This MCP server provides professional-grade engineering tools for chemical process analysis. It allows AI agents to perform mass conservation calculations, validate stream compositions, and evaluate reactor stoichiometry. Use `analyze_stream_composition` to normalize chemical flows, `calculate_unknown_flow_rate` to solve for missing mass in a junction, `compute_component_balance` to verify species conservation, `solve_reaction_balance` to determine product/reactant mass changes, and `evaluate_recycle_and_purge` to ensure loop stability in steady-state systems.

## Tools

### analyze_stream_composition
Validates and normalizes the composition of a specific chemical stream

### calculate_unknown_flow_rate
Determines a missing mass flow rate in a junction

### compute_component_balance
Calculates the mass of a specific chemical species across a single unit or junction

### evaluate_recycle_and_purge
Checks if a recycle loop is accumulating mass or if a purge stream is sufficient

### solve_reaction_balance
Calculates the mass of products generated or reactants consumed during a chemical reaction

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Normalize this stream composition: { 'H2O': 0.4, 'NaCl': 0.5 } for stream 'S1'.
```

**Response:** 
```
The normalized composition for stream 'S1' is { 'H2O': 0.4444, 'NaCl': 0.5556 }.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the unknown flow rate for target stream 'out_1' at node 'J1' where inlet 'in_1' is 100 kg/h and outlet 'out_2' is 40 kg/h.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated flow rate for 'out_1' is 60 kg/h.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check the component balance for CO2 at node 'R1' with an inlet stream of 50 kg/h (10% CO2) and an outlet stream of 50 kg/h (20% CO2).
```

**Response:** 
```
The net mass flow for CO2 is -5 kg/h, indicating consumption in the unit.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle non-normalized stream compositions?**
The `analyze_stream_composition` tool automatically normalizes mass fractions so they sum to exactly 1.0 while maintaining their relative proportions.

**Can I use this to check for mass accumulation in recycle loops?**
Yes, the `evaluate_recycle_and_purge` tool specifically checks if a recycle loop is accumulating mass or if the purge stream is sufficient to maintain steady state.

**Does it support chemical reaction stoichiometry?**
Yes, `solve_reaction_balance` calculates the mass of products generated or reactants consumed based on provided stoichiometric coefficients and conversion rates.
