using matrix as an input to solve the following equation

T1= input("enter horse temp"); %rectial temperature is 37.2 to 37.8 celsius

T2=28; %28 celsius

V_materialneeded= 0.689*(10^-5);% meter cubic

circum= 0.19685; % boots Circumference

d=circum/pi;

A_boot= pi*((d^2)/4);

t_boot=V_materialneeded/A_boot; %the thickness of phase changing material

t_meshfabric= [0.002:0.001:0.008]; % testing the material thickness

t_total=t_boot+t_meshfabric;

R_value=5; %resistance value of phase changing material;

heat_transfer= ((A_boot)*(T1-T2))/R_value; %% assume temperature of fabric is the same with phase changin material temperature.

heatflow_fabric(= (-k*A_boot*(T1-T2))/t_total;

%T1_K=T1+273

%T2_K= T2+273

% heatflux(x)= 4*(5.67*(10^-8))*(298)*(T1_K-T2_K)

% x=[0:t_total];

Hi I tried to run this matlab code but I don't know what went wrong with it? If I have the function changing with x how can I express it in Matlab

Thank you for your time

The beauty of MATLAB is, that when you run your code you will get a clear message which explicitly states what the error is.

In your case, you have 3 errors in line #12

1 - There's a parenthesis bofore equalto sign

2 - You have an undefined variable 'k'

3 - Divison should be element-wise
