% Calculate the vapor Pressure of n-heptane using SRK-EOS
% P = RT / V - b - alpha*a / V(V-b)
R = 8.134e-3; % MPa m3 / mole.K
n = 0;
n = n+1;
for i=1:5
Pn = 1.6714;
Tr = 0.9;
Tc = 540.13; % K
Pc = 2.74; % Mpa;
T = Tr*Tc;
w = 0.350;
m = 0.480+1.574*w -0.176*w^2;
al=(1+m*(1-Tr^0.5))^2;
a = 0.42748*(((R*Tc)^2) /Pc);
b = 0.08664*(R*Tc / Pc);
% Z3 - Z2 + (A-B-B^2)Z-AB=0
A = (a*Pn*al)/(R*T)^2;
B = (b*Pn)/(R*T);
Zv=max(roots([1 -1 A-B-B^2 -A*B]));
Zl=min(roots([1 -1 A-B-B^2 -A*B]));
disp(Zv)
disp(Zl)
phiv(i)=exp((Zv -1)-log(Zv -B)-(A/B) *(log(Zv+B/Zv )));
phil(i)=exp((Zl -1)-log(Zl -B)-(A/B) *(log(Zl+B/Zl )));
Fv=Pn*phiv;
Fl=Pn*phil;
disp(phiv)
disp(phil);
disp(Fv);
disp(Fl);
A=Fl-Fv;
if (A < 10^-4);
Pnew=Pn;
else
Pn+1 =Pn * (phil/phiv);
end
end
Basically in this code I am trying to assume a pressure 'Pn' to calculate the results which satisfy this relation (A<10^-4) if this satisfy's then our assume pressure is right else if not then we use the relation Pn+1 = Pn*(Phil/Phiv) to caluclate another pressure and update the above pressure (previously assume) with this one. I have error with this and need advice please help.
regards

The syntax
Pn+1 =Pn * (phil/phiv);
is not valid. The left side of an assignment must be a valid variable name or array reference. For example,
Pn_plus_1 =Pn * (phil/phiv);
Or
P(n+1) =Pn * (phil/phiv);
In your "while" loop, you do not recalculate "A", so if the loop is entered at all, it is going to be repeated indefinitely. When you assign a variable value, the assignment does not affect any values that were already calculated before that point, including not any assignments that used that same variable name in the formula.
foo = 5;
bar = foo;
foo = 7;
bar
At the end of this, foo will be 7 and bar will still be what it was at the time the assignment for it was executed, namely 5. The update to the variable "foo" that was used in initializing "bar" does not cause an update to any variable already assigned to.

I still don't understand. Maybe you can give a Pn where it does get into that part of the if statement and then bails out of the loop. But I see no reason why it should exit the loop and stop the program. There is no break statement anywhere so why should it exit the loop or "stop there" whatever that means. You mean like stop with an error because an exception got thrown? And how/where is Pnew ever used, even if it did get assigned?
