Heat Exchanger Sizing Pro MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate heat transfer area, LMTD, and physical dimensions for shell and tube heat exchangers.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for sizing shell and tube heat exchangers. It allows AI agents to perform complex thermodynamic calculations including heat duty, Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD), and required heat transfer area. Users can determine physical geometry such as shell diameter and tube count using get_physical_dimensions. The toolset covers the entire sizing workflow from initial thermal energy calculation with get_heat_duty to final physical specification.

Calculate the heat duty for a hot fluid with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s, inlet temperature of 100°C, outlet temperature of 60°C, and specific heat of 4.18 kJ/kg·K.

The total heat duty is 836 kW.

What is the LMTD for a counter-current flow where hot fluid goes from 100°C to 60°C and cold fluid goes from 20°C to 40°C?

The Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) is 42.48°C.

Determine the shell diameter and tube count for a required area of 15 m2, tube diameter of 0.025 m, tube length of 3 m, and tube pitch of 0.03 m.

The required shell diameter is 0.65 m and the necessary tube count is 127.

The server supports both counter-current and co-current flow arrangements for LMTD calculations.
