How do I calculate the Bond Work Index?

You can use the `calculate_bond_work_index` tool by providing the 80% passing size of the feed, the 80% passing size of the product, and the energy consumed during the test.

Can I account for dry grinding conditions?

Yes, the `estimate_grinding_energy` tool includes a parameter to specify if the process is dry grinding, which applies the necessary adjustment factor.

How is circuit power determined?

Use the `project_circuit_power` tool. It multiplies the specific energy requirement by the mass throughput to find the required power in kW or MW.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for mineral processing engineers to perform comminution calculations. Use calculate_bond_work_index to determine the material resistance from test data, estimate_grinding_energy to predict energy needs for specific size reductions, and project_circuit_power to calculate total mill power requirements based on throughput. It also includes validate_test_data to ensure input parameters are physically plausible.
