Status: done

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

## Story

As a simulation user,
I want type-safe physical quantities (Pressure, Temperature, Enthalpy, MassFlow),
so that I cannot accidentally mix units.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **NewType Definitions** (AC: #1)
   - [x] Define `Pressure` newtype wrapping `f64` (unit: Pascals)
   - [x] Define `Temperature` newtype wrapping `f64` (unit: Kelvin)
   - [x] Define `Enthalpy` newtype wrapping `f64` (unit: J/kg)
   - [x] Define `MassFlow` newtype wrapping `f64` (unit: kg/s)
   - [x] All newtypes are tuple structs: `pub struct Pressure(pub f64)`

2. **Unit Conversion Methods** (AC: #2)
   - [x] Implement `.to_pascals()` -> `f64` for Pressure
   - [x] Implement `.to_bar()` -> `f64` for Pressure
   - [x] Implement `.to_kelvin()` -> `f64` for Temperature

   - [x] Implement `.to_kg_per_s()` -> `f64` for MassFlow
   - [x] Constructor methods: `Pressure::from_pascals(f64)`, `Pressure::from_bar(f64)`, etc.

3. **Type Safety Verification** (AC: #3)
   - [x] Attempting to pass Temperature where Pressure is expected fails at compile-time
   - [x] Conversions between physical types are explicit (no implicit casting)
   - [x] Unit tests demonstrate compile-time type safety

4. **Display and Debug Traits** (AC: #4)

   - [x] Implement `std::fmt::Debug` for debugging output
   - [x] Implement `std::ops::{Add, Sub, Mul, Div}` with appropriate constraints

5. **Integration with Component Trait** (AC: #5)
   - [x] NewTypes compatible with existing `Component` trait from Story 1.1

## Dev Notes

### Architecture Context

**Critical Pattern - NewType for Unit Safety:**
The NewType pattern is REQUIRED for all physical quantities in public APIs. This prevents the #1 bug in thermodynamic simulations: unit confusion.

```rust
// DANGER - Never do this (ambiguous units!)
fn solve(p: f64, t: f64) // Is p in Pa or bar? Is t in K or °C?

// CORRECT - NewType pattern
pub struct Pressure(pub f64);    // Always Pascals internally
pub struct Temperature(pub f64); // Always Kelvin internally

fn solve(p: Pressure, t: Temperature) // Impossible to mix up!
```

**Base Units (SI):**
- Pressure: Pascals (Pa) - NOT bar, psi, or atm
- Temperature: Kelvin (K) - NOT Celsius or Fahrenheit
- Enthalpy: Joules per kilogram (J/kg) - NOT kJ/kg
- MassFlow: Kilograms per second (kg/s) - NOT g/s or kg/h

**Conversion Strategy:**
- Store base SI units internally
- Provide constructors for common units (from_bar, from_celsius)
- Provide conversion methods to common units (to_bar, to_celsius)
- Never allow implicit conversions

### Technical Requirements

**Rust Naming Conventions (MUST FOLLOW):**
- NewType structs: `CamelCase` (Pressure, Temperature)
- Methods: `snake_case` (to_pascals, from_bar)
- Constructor methods: `from_<unit>` pattern
- Conversion methods: `to_<unit>` pattern

**Required Traits:**
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, PartialOrd)]
pub struct Pressure(pub f64);

// MUST implement:
impl Display for Pressure
impl From<f64> for Pressure // Interpreted as base unit (Pa)

// Arithmetic (for convenience):
impl Add<Pressure> for Pressure
impl Sub<Pressure> for Pressure
impl Mul<f64> for Pressure    // Scaling
impl Div<f64> for Pressure    // Scaling
```

**Location in Workspace:**
```
crates/core/
├── Cargo.toml
└── src/
    ├── lib.rs          # Re-exports types
    ├── types.rs        # Physical types (THIS STORY)
    ├── errors.rs       # ThermoError (future story)
    └── state.rs        # SystemState (future story)
```

### Implementation Strategy

1. **Create core crate** - This is the foundation crate for all types
2. **Define one type at a time** - Start with Pressure (most common)
3. **Add unit tests per type** - Verify constructors and conversions
4. **Add arithmetic operations** - Make types ergonomic to use
5. **Verify type safety** - Test that wrong types don't compile

### Testing Requirements

**Required Tests:**
- Constructor tests: `Pressure::from_bar(1.0)` creates correct value
- Conversion tests: `Pressure(101325.0).to_bar()` ≈ 1.01325
- Arithmetic tests: `Pressure(100_000.0) + Pressure(50_000.0)`
- Display tests: Verify format is "101325 Pa"
- Compile-time safety: Try to pass Temperature to Pressure parameter (should fail)

**Test Pattern:**
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;
    use approx::assert_relative_eq;
    
    #[test]
    fn test_pressure_conversions() {
        let p = Pressure::from_bar(1.0);
        assert_relative_eq!(p.to_pascals(), 100_000.0, epsilon = 1e-6);
        assert_relative_eq!(p.to_bar(), 1.0, epsilon = 1e-6);
    }
    
    #[test]
    fn test_temperature_conversions() {
        let t = Temperature::from_celsius(0.0);
        assert_relative_eq!(t.to_kelvin(), 273.15, epsilon = 1e-6);
        assert_relative_eq!(t.to_celsius(), 0.0, epsilon = 1e-6);
    }
}
```

### Project Structure Notes

**Crate Location:** `crates/core/`
- This crate provides types used by ALL other crates
- Components crate will depend on core for types
- Solver crate will use these types in state management

**Inter-crate Dependencies:**
```
core (no deps - THIS STORY)
  ↑
fluids → core (types for fluid properties)
  ↑
components → core + fluids
  ↑
solver → core + fluids + components
```

**Alignment with Unified Structure:**
- ✅ Follows workspace-based multi-crate architecture
- ✅ Uses NewType pattern as specified in Architecture [Source: planning-artifacts/architecture.md#Critical Pattern: NewType for Unit Safety]
- ✅ Located in `crates/core/` per project structure [Source: planning-artifacts/architecture.md#Project Structure & Boundaries]
- ✅ Types will be used by Component trait from Story 1.1

## Story Context Summary

**Critical Implementation Points:**
1. This is THE foundation types crate - all physical quantities used everywhere
2. Must use SI base units internally (Pa, K, J/kg, kg/s)
3. NewType pattern prevents unit mixing at compile-time
4. Types must work with Component trait from Story 1.1
5. Zero-cost abstraction - no runtime overhead

**Common Pitfalls to Avoid:**
- ❌ Using bare f64 for physical quantities
- ❌ Implicit unit conversions (must be explicit)
- ❌ Wrong base units (e.g., storing bar instead of Pa)
- ❌ Missing Display/Debug traits
- ❌ Not testing arithmetic operations
- ❌ Wrong naming conventions

**Success Criteria:**
- ✅ Types prevent compile-time mixing of units
- ✅ All constructors and conversions work correctly
- ✅ Display shows value with unit
- ✅ Arithmetic operations work as expected
- ✅ Types integrate with Component trait
- ✅ All tests pass
- ✅ Follows all architecture patterns

**Dependencies on Story 1.1:**
Story 1.1 created the Component trait. Story 1.2 creates types that will be used BY components. Types should be compatible with the Component trait's method signatures.

**Next Story (1.3) Dependencies:**
Story 1.3 (Port and Connection System) will use these physical types for port properties (pressure, temperature). The types must support the type-state pattern.
