## Description

This MCP server provides specialized computational tools for bioreactor engineering. It allows AI agents to calculate the oxygen mass transfer coefficient using `calculate_kla`, determine the oxygen transfer rate with `calculate_otr`, and estimate agitation power requirements via `calculate_power_requirement`. The engine also includes `get_reactor_dimension_validation` to ensure physical consistency of reactor geometries.

## Tools

### calculate_kla
Estimates the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (kLa) based on reactor physics

### calculate_otr
Determines the rate of oxygen mass transfer into the culture

### calculate_power_requirement
Estimates the electrical/mechanical power needed for agitation

### get_reactor_dimension_validation
Validates if a set of reactor dimensions is physically consistent

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the kLa for a reactor with 300 RPM agitation, 0.5 VVM aeration, 1m tank diameter, 0.3m impeller diameter, and 1m3 volume.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated oxygen mass transfer coefficient (kLa) is 0.045 s⁻¹ with a gas holdup of 0.12.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the oxygen transfer rate if kLa is 0.05 and dissolved oxygen is 2 mg/L with a saturation of 8 mg/L?
```

**Response:** 
```
The oxygen transfer rate (OTR) is 0.3 mg/L/s.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a reactor with 2m tank diameter, 1m3 volume, and 0.5m impeller diameter is valid.
```

**Response:** 
```
The reactor dimensions are physically consistent with an aspect ratio of 1.25.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the oxygen transfer coefficient?**
You can use the `calculate_kla` tool by providing the agitation speed, aeration rate, tank diameter, impeller diameter, and working volume.

**Can I estimate power consumption for my impeller?**
Yes, the `calculate_power_requirement` tool estimates the electrical and mechanical power needed based on agitation speed, impeller diameter, tank diameter, liquid density, and viscosity.

**Does the tool account for viscosity?**
Yes, both `calculate_kla` and `calculate_power_requirement` allow you to input viscosity to ensure accurate physical modeling.
