# Story 7.6: Component Calibration Parameters (Calib)

Status: review

<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->

## Story

As a R&D engineer matching simulation to real machine test data,
I want calibration factors (Calib) on components,
so that simulation results align with manufacturer test data and field measurements.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Calib Implementation** (AC: #1)
   - [x] Compressor and Expansion Valve support `f_m` (default 1.0): ṁ_eff = f_m × ṁ_nominal
   - [x] Pipe and Heat Exchanger support `f_dp` (default 1.0): ΔP_eff = f_dp × ΔP_nominal
   - [x] Evaporator and Condenser support `f_ua` (default 1.0): UA_eff = f_ua × UA_nominal
   - [x] Compressor support `f_power` (default 1.0): Ẇ_eff = f_power × Ẇ_nominal
   - [x] Compressor support `f_etav` (default 1.0): η_v,eff = f_etav × η_v,nominal (displacement models; AHRI 540: f_m suffices)
   - [x] Default 1.0 = no correction; typical range [0.8, 1.2]

2. **Serialization & Persistence** (AC: #2)
   - [x] Calib struct serializable in JSON (short keys: f_m, f_dp, f_ua, f_power, f_etav)
   - [x] Loading from JSON restores Calib values
   - [ ] Traceability metadata can include calibration_source (test data hash or identifier)

3. **Calibration Workflow Documentation** (AC: #3)
   - [x] Document recommended order: f_m → f_dp → f_ua → f_power (prevents parameter fighting)
   - [x] Reference: alphaXiv, Buildings Modelica, EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, TIL Suite

4. **Validation Against Test Data** (AC: #4)
   - [x] With calibrated components, results match test data within configurable tolerance
   - [x] Example targets: capacity ±2%, power ±3% (industry typical)
   - [x] Unit tests verify scaling (f=1.0 unchanged, f=1.1 scales by 10%)

## Tasks / Subtasks

- [x] Define Calib struct (AC: #1)
  - [x] Create `Calib { f_m, f_dp, f_ua, f_power, f_etav }` in `crates/core`
  - [x] Default: all 1.0; serde with short keys; validation: 0.5 ≤ f ≤ 2.0
  - [x] Document each factor with component mapping and literature ref
- [x] Add f_m to Compressor and Expansion Valve (AC: #1)
  - [x] Compressor: ṁ_out = f_m × ṁ_ahri540
  - [x] Expansion Valve: scale mass flow if orifice model; else f_m on inlet flow
- [x] Add f_power and f_etav to Compressor (AC: #1)
  - [x] f_power: Ẇ_out = f_power × Ẇ_ahri540
  - [x] f_etav: for displacement models; AHRI 540: use f_m only, f_etav=1.0
- [x] Add f_dp to Pipe and Heat Exchanger (AC: #1)
  - [x] Pipe: ΔP_eff = f_dp × ΔP_darcy_weisbach
  - [x] Heat Exchanger: scale refrigerant-side ΔP if modeled
- [x] Add f_ua to Evaporator and Condenser (AC: #1)
  - [x] Heat transfer models: UA_eff = f_ua × UA_nominal before Q = UA × ΔT_lm
- [x] JSON serialization (AC: #2)
  - [x] Calib in component schema; round-trip test
  - [ ] Optional calibration_source in metadata
- [x] Documentation and tests (AC: #3, #4)
  - [x] Dev Notes: calibration order and literature refs
  - [x] Unit tests: f_m, f_dp, f_ua, f_power scaling
  - [ ] Integration test: calibrated cycle vs synthetic test data

## Dev Notes

### Naming: Calib (short for Calibration Factors)

**Struct name:** `Calib` — 5 chars, standard in HVAC/refrigeration literature ("calibration factors").

**Field names (short, JSON-friendly):**

| Field     | Full name              | Effect                          | Components                    |
|-----------|------------------------|---------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| `f_m`     | mass flow factor       | ṁ_eff = f_m × ṁ_nominal        | Compressor, Expansion Valve   |
| `f_dp`    | pressure drop factor   | ΔP_eff = f_dp × ΔP_nominal     | Pipe, Heat Exchanger         |
| `f_ua`    | UA factor              | UA_eff = f_ua × UA_nominal      | Evaporator, Condenser         |
| `f_power` | power factor           | Ẇ_eff = f_power × Ẇ_nominal    | Compressor                    |
| `f_etav`  | volumetric efficiency  | η_v,eff = f_etav × η_v,nominal  | Compressor (displacement)     |

### Literature: Calibration Coefficients in HVAC/Refrigeration Software

**EnergyPlus (RP-1051, DX/Chillers):**
- Biquadratic capacity/EIR curves: c₁…c₆
- Part-Load Fraction (PLF): a + b(PLR) + c(PLR)²
- Case Latent Heat Ratio, ambient correction curves

**Modelica Buildings (Heat Pumps):**
- `etaEle`: Electro-mechanical efficiency
- `PLos`: Constant power losses (W)
- `leaCoe`: Leakage coefficient (kg/s)
- `UACon`, `UAEva`: Thermal conductance (W/K)
- `volRat`: Built-in volume ratio
- `V_flow_nominal`: Refrigerant volume flow at suction
- Optimization minimizes |modeled − manufacturer_data|

**TRNSYS (Type 941, Heat Pumps):**
- Correction Factor: multiplier on interpolated capacity/power from performance map
- Heat Loss Coefficient (U-value) for storage

**TIL Suite (EN 12900 / ARI 540):**
- 10-coefficient polynomial for ṁ and P
- Heat Transfer Multiplier (evaporator/condenser zones)
- Zeta value / friction factor multiplier for pressure drop

**Compressor Efficiency (alphaXiv, Purdue):**
- Volumetric efficiency η_v: λ factor for clearance-volume model
- Isentropic efficiency η_is: friction factor, heat transfer factor
- Calibration: η_v and η_is scaled to match test bench

**Calibration Workflow (sequential):**
1. **f_m** — mass flow (compressor power + ṁ measurements)
2. **f_dp** — pressure drops (inlet/outlet pressures)
3. **f_ua** — heat transfer (superheat, subcooling, capacity)
4. **f_power** — compressor power (if f_m insufficient)

### Previous Story Intelligence

**Story 1-4 (Compressor AHRI 540):**
- `crates/components/src/compressor.rs`
- ṁ from M1, M2; Ẇ from M3–M6 (cooling) or M7–M10 (heating)
- Apply f_m on ṁ, f_power on Ẇ

**Story 1-5 (Heat Exchanger):**
- `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/` — LmtdModel, EpsNtuModel
- Scale UA before Q = UA × ΔT_lm

**Story 1-6 (Expansion Valve):**
- Isenthalpic; ṁ continuity. Apply f_m if flow model exists.

**Story 1-8 (Pipe):**
- Darcy-Weisbach; apply f_dp on ΔP

### Technical Requirements

**Calib struct:**
```rust
/// Calibration factors for matching simulation to real machine test data.
/// Short name: Calib. Default 1.0 = no correction. Typical range [0.8, 1.2].
/// Refs: Buildings Modelica, EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, TIL Suite, alphaXiv.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Calib {
    /// f_m: ṁ_eff = f_m × ṁ_nominal (Compressor, Valve)
    #[serde(default = "one", alias = "calib_flow")]
    pub f_m: f64,
    /// f_dp: ΔP_eff = f_dp × ΔP_nominal (Pipe, HX)
    #[serde(default = "one", alias = "calib_dpr")]
    pub f_dp: f64,
    /// f_ua: UA_eff = f_ua × UA_nominal (Evaporator, Condenser)
    #[serde(default = "one", alias = "calib_ua")]
    pub f_ua: f64,
    /// f_power: Ẇ_eff = f_power × Ẇ_nominal (Compressor)
    #[serde(default = "one")]
    pub f_power: f64,
    /// f_etav: η_v,eff = f_etav × η_v,nominal (Compressor displacement)
    #[serde(default = "one")]
    pub f_etav: f64,
}
fn one() -> f64 { 1.0 }
```

**Validation:** 0.5 ≤ f ≤ 2.0. Reject otherwise.

### File Structure

**New:** `crates/core/src/calib.rs` (or `calibration.rs`)

**Modified:**
- `crates/components/src/compressor.rs` — f_m, f_power, f_etav
- `crates/components/src/pipe.rs` — f_dp
- `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/model.rs` — f_ua
- `crates/components/src/expansion_valve.rs` — f_m
- `crates/core/src/lib.rs` — export Calib

### Testing

- `test_calib_default_all_one`
- `test_f_m_scales_mass_flow`
- `test_f_dp_scales_pressure_drop`
- `test_f_ua_scales_heat_transfer`
- `test_f_power_scales_compressor_power`
- `test_calib_json_roundtrip`
- `test_calib_aliases_backward_compat` (calib_flow → f_m)

### Optional / Future (out of scope for this story)

- **f_cap**: Capacity correction factor (TRNSYS, EnergyPlus) — system-level Q scaling; for component-level, f_ua suffices.
- **PLF / Part-Load**: EnergyPlus PLF curve — transient/cycling; steady-state out of scope.
