## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing Plug Flow Reactors (PFR). It allows AI agents to calculate critical reactor parameters including volume, residence time, temperature profiles, and pressure drops based on chemical kinetics and fluid dynamics. Use `get_reactor_volume` to determine required capacity, `calculate_residence_time` to find fluid duration, `simulate_temperature_profile` to predict thermal changes, and `estimate_pressure_drop` to assess fluid resistance.

## Tools

### calculate_residence_time
Calculates how long a fluid element remains within the reactor

### estimate_pressure_drop
Calculates the loss in pressure experienced by the fluid due to reactor resistance

### get_reactor_volume
Determines the physical size required for a reactor to reach a specific conversion goal

### simulate_temperature_profile
Predicts how the temperature changes as the reaction progresses through the reactor

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the required reactor size?**
You can use the `get_reactor_volume` tool by providing the target conversion, reaction rate, and volumetric flow rate.

**Can I predict temperature changes during the reaction?**
Yes, the `simulate_temperature_profile` tool predicts how temperature changes along the reactor based on heat of reaction and fluid properties.

**Does this tool account for pressure loss?**
Yes, use `estimate_pressure_drop` to calculate the pressure loss based on reactor geometry and fluid density/viscosity.
