## Description

This MCP server provides professional engineering tools for steady-state hydraulic modeling of liquid pipelines. It allows engineers to calculate pressure profiles, optimize pump station placement, and determine the most cost-effective pipe diameters. Use `analyze_pressure_profile` to map pressure along terrain, `optimize_pump_placement` to ensure safe operating limits, `find_optimal_diameter` for cost-effective sizing, and `calculate_batch_impact` to predict how different fluid properties affect the hydraulic gradient in multi-product lines.

## Tools

### analyze_pressure_profile
Determine the pressure at various points along a pipeline based on fluid properties and terrain

### calculate_batch_impact
Predict how the hydraulic profile shifts when different products are pumped through the same line

### find_optimal_diameter
Find the most cost-effective pipe diameter for a specific flow requirement

### optimize_pump_placement
Determine where pump stations must be located to keep pressure within safe operating limits

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the pressure profile for a 50km pipeline with a flow rate of 500 m3/h, a diameter of 0.5m, and this elevation profile: [{'distance': 0, 'elevation': 10}, {'distance': 25, 'elevation': 50}, {'distance': 50, 'elevation': 20}]. Fluid density is 850 and viscosity is 0.001.
```

**Response:** 
```
The pressure profile shows a peak pressure of 45.2 bar at the 25km mark due to elevation changes, with a total head loss of 4.8 bar over the full length.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Where should I place pump stations for a 100km pipeline to keep pressure between 5 and 25 bar?
```

**Response:** 
```
Pump stations are required at 35km and 72km to maintain the hydraulic gradient within the specified limits.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the best pipe diameter for a 2000 m3/h flow rate with a target pressure drop of 2 bar/km?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal diameter for these requirements is 0.85 meters.
```
