how to plot the motor chamber pressure and the vacuum thrust as a function of both time and web assuming quasi-steady state (equilibrium)

I have computed the equilibrium pressure assuming a quasi steady state condition: using the following eq attached to this question and below is my code. How do I plot Pc_eq as a function of time?

What was the equation you used for F_vac? I am also doing a similar project and i am a little confused about a few things.... It would really help

Hi Christina,
The variable Pc_eq is a scalar value, in your case. You need to have a vector in order to plot it.
Moreover, your equation doesn't seem to have any time dependency.
So, I would suggest you to rewrite the code and give the variables you want to plot, some dependency over time and then use plot funciton.
