Engineering tool for heavy oil tank heating and heat duty calculations.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing heating systems for heavy oil storage tanks. It allows users to calculate the total heat duty required to reach target temperatures, select the most efficient heater type (such as internal coils or external heating), and estimate steam consumption based on latent heat. Additionally, it includes a validation tool to ensure that the heating parameters successfully reach the required viscosity target for fluid mobility.

What is the total heat duty for 500 cubic meters of oil with a density of 950 kg/m3, moving from 20C to 60C, with a specific heat of 2000 J/kgK and a loss coefficient of 5?

The total heat duty is 40,000,000 J and the net heat duty is 40,005,000 J.

Which heater is best for a tank 10m wide and 15m high with an oil viscosity of 500 cP at target temperature?

The recommended heater type is internal coils with a suitability score of 0.85.

Will a temperature of 50C be enough to reach a target viscosity of 100 cP if the current viscosity is 500 cP?

Yes, the target viscosity is met.

You can use the `get_heat_duty` tool by providing the oil density, volume, temperatures, and heat loss coefficient.
