Enum WorkFlow 

pub enum WorkFlow {
    In(Constrained<Power, StrictlyPositive>),
    Out(Constrained<Power, StrictlyPositive>),
    None,
}

Represents work flow across a system boundary.

This enum represents flow direction relative to the system:

• In: Work flows into the system (positive contribution, work done on the system).
• Out: Work flows out of the system (negative contribution, work done by the system).
• None: No work flow occurs.

Note: Some thermodynamic texts define work as positive when done by the system (i.e., flowing out). This crate uses the opposite convention: positive = into the system, for consistency with HeatFlow and MassFlow sign conventions.

Variants

In(Constrained<Power, StrictlyPositive>)

Work flowing into the system.

Out(Constrained<Power, StrictlyPositive>)

Work flowing out of the system.

None

No work flow occurs.

Implementations

impl WorkFlow

pub fn incoming(work_rate: Power) -> Result<Self, ConstraintError>

Creates a WorkFlow::In representing work flowing into the system.

Errors

Returns a ConstraintError if work_rate is not strictly positive.

pub fn outgoing(work_rate: Power) -> Result<Self, ConstraintError>

Creates a WorkFlow::Out representing work flowing out of the system.

Errors

Returns a ConstraintError if work_rate is not strictly positive.

pub fn from_signed(work_rate: Power) -> Result<Self, ConstraintError>

Creates a WorkFlow from a signed work flow rate.

• Positive values indicate work flowing into the system.
• Negative values indicate work flowing out of the system.
• Zero indicates no work flow.

Errors

Returns a ConstraintError::NotANumber if the value is not finite.

pub fn signed(&self) -> Power

Returns the signed work flow rate.

• Positive for work flowing into the system.
• Negative for work flowing out of the system.
• Zero if no work flow.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for WorkFlow

fn clone(&self) -> WorkFlow

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for WorkFlow

impl Debug for WorkFlow

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for WorkFlow

fn eq(&self, other: &WorkFlow) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
