Sepehr fa480ed303 feat: implement mass balance validation for Story 7.1
- Added port_mass_flows to Component trait and implements for core components.
- Added System::check_mass_balance and integrated it into the solver.
- Restored connect methods for ExpansionValve, Compressor, and Pipe to fix integration tests.
- Updated Python and C bindings for validation errors.
- Updated sprint status and story documentation.

# Entropyk WebAssembly Bindings
WebAssembly bindings for the [Entropyk](https://github.com/entropyk/entropyk) thermodynamic simulation library.
## Features
- **Browser-native execution**: Run thermodynamic simulations directly in the browser
- **TabularBackend**: Pre-computed fluid tables for fast property lookups (100x faster than direct EOS calls)
- **Zero server dependency**: No backend required - runs entirely client-side
- **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript definitions included
- **JSON serialization**: All results are JSON-serializable for easy integration
## Installation
```bash
npm install @entropyk/wasm
```
## Quick Start
```javascript
import init, {
WasmSystem,
WasmCompressor,
WasmCondenser,
WasmEvaporator,
WasmExpansionValve,
WasmFallbackConfig
} from '@entropyk/wasm';
// Initialize the WASM module
await init();
// Create components
const compressor = new WasmCompressor("R134a");
const condenser = new WasmCondenser("R134a", 1000.0);
const evaporator = new WasmEvaporator("R134a", 800.0);
const valve = new WasmExpansionValve("R134a");
// Create system
const system = new WasmSystem();
// Configure solver
const config = new WasmFallbackConfig();
config.timeout_ms(1000);
// Solve
const result = system.solve(config);
console.log(result.toJson());
// {
// "converged": true,
// "iterations": 12,
// "final_residual": 1e-8,
// "solve_time_ms": 45
// }
```
## API Reference
### Core Types
- `WasmPressure` - Pressure in Pascals or bar
- `WasmTemperature` - Temperature in Kelvin or Celsius
- `WasmEnthalpy` - Enthalpy in J/kg or kJ/kg
- `WasmMassFlow` - Mass flow rate in kg/s
### Components
- `WasmCompressor` - AHRI 540 compressor model
- `WasmCondenser` - Heat rejection heat exchanger
- `WasmEvaporator` - Heat absorption heat exchanger
- `WasmExpansionValve` - Isenthalpic expansion device
- `WasmEconomizer` - Internal heat exchanger
### Solver
- `WasmSystem` - Thermodynamic system container
- `WasmNewtonConfig` - Newton-Raphson solver configuration
- `WasmPicardConfig` - Sequential substitution solver configuration
- `WasmFallbackConfig` - Intelligent fallback solver configuration
- `WasmConvergedState` - Solver result
## Build Requirements
- Rust 1.70+
- wasm-pack: `cargo install wasm-pack`
- wasm32 target: `rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown`
## Building from Source
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/entropyk/entropyk.git
cd entropyk/bindings/wasm
# Build for browsers
npm run build
# Build for Node.js
npm run build:node
# Run tests
npm test
```
## Performance
| Operation | Target | Typical |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| Simple cycle solve | < 100ms | 30-50ms |
| Property query | < 1μs | ~0.5μs |
| Cold start | < 500ms | 200-300ms |
## Limitations
- **CoolProp unavailable**: The WASM build uses TabularBackend with pre-computed tables. CoolProp C++ cannot compile to WebAssembly.
- **Limited fluid library**: By default, only R134a is embedded. Additional fluids can be loaded from JSON tables.
## Loading Custom Fluid Tables
```javascript
import { load_fluid_table } from '@entropyk/wasm';
// Load a custom fluid table (generated from the entropyk CLI)
const r410aTable = await fetch('/path/to/r410a.json').then(r => r.text());
await load_fluid_table(r410aTable);
```
## Browser Compatibility
- Chrome/Edge 80+
- Firefox 75+
- Safari 14+
- Node.js 14+
