## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools to calculate the power requirements for Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill pinions. It allows AI agents to determine the mechanical `calculate_pinion_power` needed based on mill geometry and ore characteristics, calculate the total electrical `calculate_motor_power` required, and assess `calculate_power_utilization` relative to motor capacity. Additionally, it can `analyze_slurry_impact` to understand how changes in slurry density affect power draw.

## Tools

### analyze_slurry_impact
Evaluates how the density of the slurry affects the overall power requirements

### calculate_motor_power
Determines the total electrical motor power required to drive the pinion

### calculate_pinion_power
Determines the mechanical power required at the pinion to rotate the mill under specific loading conditions

### calculate_power_utilization
Measures how effectively the installed motor is being used relative to its rated capacity

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the pinion power for a mill with 5m diameter, 15m length, 75% critical speed, 25% charge level, 2.5 ore density, and a standard liner profile.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated pinion power is 1250.5 kW with a total charge mass of 450 metric tons.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the motor power required if the pinion power is 1000 kW, transmission efficiency is 0.95, and motor efficiency is 0.98?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total electrical motor power required is 1097.46 kW.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much motor capacity is being used if the motor power is 800 kW and the rated capacity is 1000 kW?
```

**Response:** 
```
The motor is currently at 80% utilization.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What inputs are needed for pinion power calculation?**
You need the mill diameter, length, rotational speed (as % of critical speed), charge level, ore density, and the liner profile type.

**How does slurry density affect power?**
Changes in slurry density alter the total mass being moved, which directly impacts the required pinion power.

**Can I calculate motor efficiency losses?**
Yes, by using the motor power tool, you can account for both transmission and motor efficiency to find the total electrical demand.
