## Description

This MCP server provides essential fluid mechanics calculations for process plant engineering. It allows AI agents to design efficient piping systems by determining optimal diameters using `calculate_pipe_diameter`, calculating total energy losses via `calculate_pressure_drop`, and determining required pump energy with `calculate_pump_head`. It also includes `validate_system_constraints` to ensure designs meet safety and operational limits regarding velocity and pressure.

## Tools

### calculate_pipe_diameter
Determines the required internal diameter of a pipe to handle a specific flow rate while staying within velocity limits

### calculate_pressure_drop
Calculates the total pressure loss across a specific length of pipe including all components

### calculate_pump_head
Determines the total head (energy) a pump must provide to overcome all system resistances and elevation changes

### validate_system_constraints
Checks if a designed system meets safety and operational limits

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required pipe diameter for a flow rate of 0.5 m3/s, fluid density of 1000 kg/m3, and a target velocity of 2 m/s?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required internal diameter is 0.63 meters, with a resulting velocity of 2.0 m/s and a Reynolds number of 1.25e5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the pressure drop for a 50m pipe with a 0.2m diameter, 0.1 m3/s flow rate, 1000 kg/m3 density, 0.001 Pa·s viscosity, and 0.000045 roughness, including 2 elbows.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total pressure drop is 12450 Pa, consisting of 11200 Pa in major losses and 1250 Pa in minor losses.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much pump head is needed for a 5000 Pa pressure drop and a 10m elevation increase with a fluid density of 1000 kg/m3?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total dynamic head required is 1.49 meters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can I calculate with this tool?**
You can calculate the required pipe diameter, the total pressure drop (including major and minor losses), the required pump head, and validate if the system meets safety constraints.

**Does it account for fittings and valves?**
Yes, the `calculate_pressure_drop` tool accounts for minor losses caused by fittings like elbows, tees, and valves.

**How do I ensure my design is safe?**
Use the `validate_system_constraints` tool to check if your calculated velocity and pressure drop are within the specified maximum limits.
