Which calculation methods are supported?

The server supports the Darcy-Weisbach equation for general fluid types and the Hazen-Williams equation for water flow in pressure pipes.

How does elevation affect the pressure drop?

Using `calculate_total_pressure_drop`, the tool adds hydrostatic pressure changes to frictional losses. Uphill sections increase the required pressure, while downhill sections decrease it.

Can I calculate the power needed for a pump?

Yes, you can use `calculate_pumping_power` to find the required energy based on the total pressure drop, flow rate, and pump efficiency.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized tools for hydraulic engineering and pipeline analysis. It allows AI agents to calculate fluid velocity using get_flow_velocity, determine frictional losses via calculate_friction_loss (supporting both Darcy-Weisbach and Hazen-Williams methods), and compute the net pressure change with calculate_total_pressure_drop by accounting for elevation changes. Additionally, it determines energy requirements through calculate_pumping_power. It is designed for both single-phase and multiphase flow scenarios, considering pipe roughness, fluid properties, and gravity.
