What is wrong in code of diffusion equation problem?

2 views (last 30 days)
a=4; b=4; na=20; nb=16; k=5; to=80;
clear T
x=linspace(0,a,na);
y=linspace(0,b,nb);
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);
for i=1:nb
for j=1:na
T(i,j)=0;
For n=1:k
Ns=2*n-1;
T(i,j)=T(i,j)+sin(ns*pi*X(i,j)/a).*sinh(ns*pi*Y(i,j)/a)/(sinh(ns*pi*b/a)*ns);
End
T(i,j)=T(i,j)*4*To/pi;
End
End
Mesh(X,Y,T)
Xlabel(x (m));ylabel(y (m));zlabel(T(^oC))

First of all you need to use for and end not For and End -- MATLAB is case sensitive.
Secondly, your line
Xlabel(x (m));ylabel(y (m));zlabel(T(^oC))
uses Unicode Character 'LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK' (U+2018) and Unicode Character 'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK' (U+2019) instead of apostrophe. U+2018 and U+2019 are also known as "smart quotes" because some editors automatically change apostrophes around words to these quotes because those quotes are used in publishing and writing text (but seldom in computer code.)
