## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for winery operations to calculate the technical requirements for liquid transfers. It accounts for variables like elevation change, hose diameter, and wine viscosity to determine the necessary pump head. Users can use `calculate_pump_requirements` to find the total pressure needed, `compare_hose_efficiency` to evaluate different hose sizes, `estimate_transfer_time` for duration predictions, and `validate_setup_feasibility` to ensure a specific pump can handle the planned transfer.

## Tools

### calculate_pump_requirements
Determines the total pressure (head) needed and the estimated duration for a transfer

### compare_hose_efficiency
Evaluates how different hose diameters impact the required pump power

### estimate_transfer_time
Provides a quick estimate of time based on known flow rates and volume

### validate_setup_feasibility
Checks if a specific pump's rated head and flow are sufficient

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to move 5000 liters of wine through 50 meters of 30mm hose with a 5 meter elevation gain. The viscosity is 15 cP and it is finished wine. How much pump head do I need?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total head required for this transfer is 12.4 meters, with an estimated transfer time of 45 minutes at your target flow rate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will a pump with 20 meters of max head and 100 L/min max flow work for a 30 meter transfer, 10 meter lift, 25mm hose, 20 cP viscosity, and 50 L/min target flow?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the setup is feasible. You have a head margin of 4.5 meters and a flow margin of 50 L/min.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to transfer 2000 liters at a rate of 40 liters per minute?
```

**Response:** 
```
The transfer will take 50 minutes.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does viscosity affect my pump requirements?**
Higher viscosity, such as in unfermented must, increases friction loss. You can use `calculate_pump_requirements` to see how this affects the total head required.

**Can I check if my current pump is strong enough for a transfer?**
Yes, use the `validate_setup_feasibility` tool. Input your pump's maximum head and flow rate along with your transfer parameters to check if the setup is feasible.

**How do I estimate how long a tank transfer will take?**
You can use `estimate_transfer_time` by providing the total volume of wine and the pump's flow rate to get a duration in minutes and hours.
