This MCP server provides a suite of tools for chemical engineering pinch analysis. It allows agents to calculate fundamental thermodynamic targets, evaluate the impact of stream splitting, validate heat exchanger network designs for violations, and optimize utility costs. Use analyze_pinch_targets to find the pinch point and minimum utility requirements, or check_pinch_violation to ensure your design respects the minimum approach temperature.

Calculate the pinch targets for a process with these hot streams: [{'supplyTemp': 150, 'targetTemp': 50, 'heatCapacityFlowRate': 10}] and cold streams: [{'supplyTemp': 30, 'targetTemp': 120, 'heatCapacityFlowRate': 8}] with a min approach temp of 10.

The pinch temperature is 40°C, with a minimum hot utility of 120 kW and a minimum cold utility of 45 kW.

Check if this design violates pinch rules: hot streams: [{'supplyTemp': 100, 'targetTemp': 40, 'heatCapacityFlowRate': 5}], cold streams: [{'supplyTemp': 50, 'targetTemp': 90, 'heatCapacityFlowRate': 5}], heat exchangers: [{'hotStreamId': 'h1', 'coldStreamId': 'c1', 'duty': 200}], utilities: [], minApproachTemp: 10.

No violation detected. The design satisfies the minimum approach temperature constraint.

What happens if I split a hot stream with ID 'H1' by a ratio of 0.5?

Splitting stream H1 with a 0.5 ratio increases the maximum heat recovery by 15% and reduces the required hot utility by 10 kW.

You can use the `analyze_pinch_targets` tool to calculate the minimum hot and cold utility requirements based on your stream data and minimum approach temperature.

A board received an AI-generated forecast: hockey stick J-curve with 90% margins and zero CAC expansion. It says 'we can always raise' as a runway strategy. It scales headcount before product-market fit. That is not financial strategy — that is a bonfire. This tool forces five CFO-level financial axes: unit economics, runway discipline, capital allocation, scenario forecasting, and risk mitigation.
