# Story 1.6: Expansion Valve Component

Status: done

## Story

As a control engineer,
I want to model an expansion valve with isenthalpic expansion,
So that I can simulate pressure reduction in the refrigeration cycle.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Expansion Valve Struct** (AC: #1)
   - [x] Define `ExpansionValve<State>` struct with Type-State pattern for ports
   - [x] Inlet port (high pressure, subcooled liquid) and outlet port (low pressure, two-phase)
   - [x] Support ON, OFF, and BYPASS operational states from Story 1.7
   - [x] Optional: Variable opening parameter for control (0.0 to 1.0)

2. **Isenthalpic Expansion** (AC: #2)
   - [x] Enforce enthalpy conservation: h_out = h_in (isenthalpic process)
   - [x] Pressure drop: P_out < P_in (throttling process)
   - [x] No work done: W = 0 (adiabatic, no external work)
   - [x] Phase change detection: inlet liquid → outlet two-phase

3. **Component Trait Implementation** (AC: #3)
   - [x] Implement `Component` trait from Story 1.1
   - [x] 2 residuals: enthalpy conservation, pressure continuity constraint
   - [x] `n_equations()` returns 2
   - [x] `get_ports()` returns slice of connected ports
   - [x] `jacobian_entries()` provides analytical derivatives

4. **Mass Flow Handling** (AC: #4)
   - [x] Mass flow passes through unchanged: ṁ_out = ṁ_in
   - [x] In OFF mode: mass flow contribution = 0
   - [x] In BYPASS mode: P_out = P_in, h_out = h_in (no expansion, adiabatic pipe)

5. **Opening Control (Optional)** (AC: #5)
   - [x] Optional `opening: f64` parameter (0.0 = closed, 1.0 = fully open)
   - [x] When opening < threshold: treat as OFF state
   - [x] Opening affects effective flow area (future: mass flow coefficient)

6. **Error Handling** (AC: #6)
   - [x] Return `ComponentError` for invalid states (negative pressure, etc.)
   - [x] Validate opening parameter: 0.0 ≤ opening ≤ 1.0
   - [x] Zero-panic policy: all operations return Result

7. **Testing & Validation** (AC: #7)
   - [x] Unit test: isenthalpic process verification (h_in = h_out)
   - [x] Unit test: pressure drop handling
   - [x] Unit test: OFF mode (zero mass flow)
   - [x] Unit test: BYPASS mode (P_in = P_out, h_in = h_out)

## Dev Notes

### Architecture Context

**Critical Pattern - Isenthalpic Expansion:**
The expansion valve is a throttling device with constant enthalpy:

```
h_in = h_out  (enthalpy conservation)
P_out < P_in  (pressure drop)
W = 0         (no work)
Q = 0         (adiabatic)
```

**Thermodynamic Process:**
```
Inlet:  Subcooled liquid at P_condenser, h_subcooled
Outlet: Two-phase mixture at P_evaporator, h_out = h_in

Quality at outlet: x_out = (h_out - h_f) / h_fg
```

**Component Location:**
```

```

### Technical Requirements

**Required Types from Previous Stories:**
```rust
use entropyk_core::{Pressure, Enthalpy, MassFlow};
use crate::port::{Port, Disconnected, Connected, FluidId};
use crate::state_machine::OperationalState;
use crate::{Component, ComponentError, SystemState, ResidualVector, JacobianBuilder};
```

**Struct Definition:**
```rust
pub struct ExpansionValve<State> {
    port_inlet: Port<State>,
    port_outlet: Port<State>,
    operational_state: OperationalState,
    opening: Option<f64>,  // Optional: 0.0 to 1.0
    fluid_id: FluidId,
    _state: PhantomData<State>,
}
```

**Residual Equations:**
```rust
// Residual 0: Enthalpy conservation (isenthalpic)
r_0 = h_out - h_in = 0

// Residual 1: Mass flow continuity
r_1 = ṁ_out - ṁ_in = 0
```

**Note on Pressure:** Pressure is set externally by connected components (condenser outlet, evaporator inlet). The valve does not enforce specific outlet pressure - it's determined by system equilibrium.

### Implementation Strategy

1. **Create ExpansionValve struct** - Follow Compressor pattern from Story 1.4
2. **Implement Type-State** - Use `ExpansionValve<Disconnected>` and `ExpansionValve<Connected>`
3. **Implement Component trait** - 2 residuals, analytical Jacobian
4. **Add operational states** - ON/OFF/BYPASS from state_machine.rs
5. **Add tests** - Follow test patterns from compressor.rs and heat_exchanger/

### Testing Requirements

**Required Tests:**
- Isenthalpic process: Verify h_out equals h_in within tolerance
- Pressure drop: Verify P_out can differ from P_in
- OFF mode: Verify zero mass flow contribution
- BYPASS mode: Verify P_out = P_in and h_out = h_in
- Component trait: Verify n_equations() returns 2
- Opening validation: Verify 0.0 ≤ opening ≤ 1.0 constraint

**Test Pattern (from previous stories):**
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;
    use approx::assert_relative_eq;

    fn create_test_valve() -> ExpansionValve<Connected> {
        let inlet = Port::new(
            FluidId::new("R134a"),
            Pressure::from_bar(10.0),
            Enthalpy::from_joules_per_kg(250000.0),
        );
        let outlet = Port::new(
            FluidId::new("R134a"),
            Pressure::from_bar(10.0),
            Enthalpy::from_joules_per_kg(250000.0),
        );
        let (inlet_conn, outlet_conn) = inlet.connect(outlet).unwrap();
        
        // Modify outlet pressure after connection
        let mut outlet_conn = outlet_conn;
        outlet_conn.set_pressure(Pressure::from_bar(3.5));
        
        ExpansionValve {
            port_inlet: inlet_conn,
            port_outlet: outlet_conn,
            operational_state: OperationalState::On,
            opening: Some(1.0),
            fluid_id: FluidId::new("R134a"),
            _state: PhantomData,
        }
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_isenthalpic_expansion() {
        let valve = create_test_valve();
        // h_out should equal h_in
        assert_relative_eq!(
            valve.port_inlet.enthalpy().to_joules_per_kg(),
            valve.port_outlet.enthalpy().to_joules_per_kg(),
            epsilon = 1e-10
        );
    }
}
```

### Project Structure Notes

**Alignment with Unified Structure:**
- ✅ Located in `crates/components/src/expansion_valve.rs` per architecture.md
- ✅ Uses NewType pattern from Story 1.2 (Pressure, Enthalpy, MassFlow)
- ✅ Uses Port system from Story 1.3 (Type-State pattern)
- ✅ Uses OperationalState from Story 1.7 (ON/OFF/BYPASS)
- ✅ Implements Component trait from Story 1.1

**Inter-crate Dependencies:**
```

### Common Pitfalls to Avoid

- ❌ Forgetting enthalpy conservation (isenthalpic process)
- ❌ Not handling OFF/BYPASS states correctly
- ❌ Using bare f64 for physical quantities
- ❌ Using unwrap/expect in production code
- ❌ Forgetting to validate opening parameter bounds
- ❌ Breaking Component trait object safety
