Problem 1
A particular circular cylindrical tank is 15 m tall and has a radius 8 m. We want to construct another cylindrical tank with a volume 20 % greater but having the same height. How large must its radius be?

Solution
r=8;
h=15; V= pi*r^2*h;

V=V+0.2*V or V=1.2*V;
r=sqrt(V/(pi*h))

Common Mathematical Functions


exp (x) sqrt (x) log (x) log10 (x) cos (x) sin (x) tan (x) acos (x) asin (x) atan (x)

Problem:
Determine how many elements are in the array

cos(0):0.02: log10(100). Determine the 25th element. Find the roots of the polynomial 290-11x+6x2+ x3

Plotting With MATLAB


plot (x,y) grid gtext( temperature ) title( graph between temp, press & vol) xlabel( pressure ) ylabel( volume ) Plot (x,y, + )

Problem:
Plot the function s=2 sin(3t+2)+(5t+1) over the

interval 0<=t<=5. put a title on the plot and properly label the axes. The variable s represents speed in feet per second; the variable t represents time in seconds

Linear Algebraic equations

Problem:
Use the Matlab to solve the following set of equations. 6x-4y+8z= 112 -5x+7z-3y=75 14x+9y-5z=-67

Script file and Editor/Debugger


Two ways to operate with MATLAB; 1. Interactive mode (for small calculations) 2. Script File (for complex or big problems)
MATLAB programs are saved in .m format. M-files are built with the Editor/Debugger.

M-files
1.

2.

Script files; contains a sequence of MATLAB commands, and is useful when you need to use many commands or arrays with many elements. Function files; useful when you need to repeat the operation of a set of commands. You can create your own function files. (Detail in Chapter 3)

How to run script file? Use of Comments?

>> % Mass Transfer Program MATLAB ignores every thing to the right of the % symbol

Example of Script File


% Program example.m % This program computes the sine of % the square root and displays the results. x = sqrt ([5:2:30]); y = sin (x); z = cos (x); plot(x,y,x,z)

Debugging
Debugging; process of finding and removing the

bugs or errors in a program. Syntax Error; related to typing or grammatical mistake, MATLAB detects it automatically. Runtime error; are due to incorrect formula or input. We have to find and fix it. e.g. Division by Zero.

Programming Style
1. 2. 3. 4.
