Matlab code for Euler method help
显示 更早的评论
Hi, I wrote the folowing code for Euler's method but Matlab is generating an error for the T(i+1) term. I need hep in understanding why is that happening and how to fix it. Thank you
%solving the equation using Euler's explicit method
% dT/dz = (Q + (4*U_eff*w/Dr)*(T-To))/G*cp;
z = 0.5;
Dr= 0.025;
cp_co2 = 0.85058;
cp_h2 = 14.865;
cp = 0.2*cp_co2 + 0.8*cp_h2;
To= 298;
Sco = -66000;
Ac = (3.1416*Dr^2);
Sc = Sco*(T-To);
Q= Sc*Ac*z ;
E = 0.4;
c = 0.75;
Gfr = 1;
p_co2 = 1.786;
p_h2 = 0.081347;
p = 0.2*p_co2 + 0.8*p_h2;
v_z = Gfr/p;
G = p*E*v_z;
tc_h2 = 0.19201;
tc_co2 = 0.01663;
tc_f = 0.2*tc_co2 + 0.8*tc_h2;
A = 1.75*(1-E)*E^3;
U_co2= 14.923*10^(-6);
U_h2 = 8.9117*10^(-6);
U = 0.2*U_co2 + 0.8*U_h2 ;
R= (p*v_z*z)/U ;
Su = A*R;
htc_w =tc_f/Su;
U_w = htc_w;
% Euler's Method notations
h= 0.001; %step size
z= 0:h:0.5; % range of bed length
N= numel(T); %range of T values
% At z= 0 T= To -- Initial Condition
%%Initializing Solutiion
T = zeros(size(z));
%% Solving equation using Euler's method
for i = 1:N-1
T(1)= To; %the initial tempereature in Euler
f = (Sc*Ac*z(i) + (4*U_w/Dr)*(T(i)-To))/G*cp;
% z(i+1) = z(i) + h*fi;
T(i+1) = T(i) + h*f;
end
plot(z,T);

What is the full and exact text of the error message you received? That may give us useful information that will help us help you correct the problem. Show us all the text displayed in red (error message) and/or orange (warning message.)

z(i+1) = z(i) + f*h;
T(i+1) = T(i) + h;
plot(T,z);

Sorry ... I did not read your code properly. I now understand that z is your independent variable and T is your dependent variable. So these would be proper:
% z(i+1) = z(i) + h; % this line not really needed
T(i+1) = T(i) + h*f;
But I am still confused. In your code you use z and T in calculations prior to defining the z vector and prior to the loop. What is the value that z(1) is supposed to start at? 0.5 or 0.0 or ...?
One thing that I notice is that you are defining N based on numel(T), but it looks like T is not yet defined, so what is the value of N? It might be zero or 1. So your for loop is looping from i=1 to N-1 (i.e. i=1 to -1 or zero?).
I'm guessing that maybe N sould be numel(z)?
