how to use syms?

why this is not working?

————————————–

syms h

Q = 10;

k = 50;

A = 4*h;

R = (4*h/(4+2*h))^(2/3);

I = sqrt(0.0016);

eqn = Q == k*A*R*I;

solve(eqn)

Best Answer

It is working.

Ths eolution is simply not as straightforward as it might first appear.

Consider:

syms h
Q = 10;
k = 50;
A = 4*h;
R = (4*h/(4+2*h))^(2/3);
I = sqrt(0.0016);
eqn = Q == k*A*R*I;
h_sol1 = solve(eqn, 'ReturnConditions',1);
h = h_sol1.h
parms = h_sol1.parameters
cndx = h_sol1.conditions

producing:

h =
z1
parms = 
z1
cndx =
((64*z1^3)/(2*z1 + 4)^3 == 0 | signIm((z1^3*1i)/(2*z1 + 4)^3) == 1) & z1^5 - (125*z1^2)/256 - (125*z1)/64 - 125/64 == 0

However if you only want a numerical solution:

h_num = vpasolve(eqn)

produces:

h_num =
1.4163045145295919139517656951779

The best approach to this is likely not the vpasolve function, since it takes forever.

I have no idea of these are the ‘accurate’ results you want (I have no idea what that means), however you will get them much more quickly:

I used the simplifyFraction function to do just that with your equations, then the fsolve function to do the actual calculations. These changes make it significantly more efficient.

The results I got are:

y1 =
     2.495835158216658e-02
y2 =
     4.966725033036157e-02
y3 =
     2.450145921764798e-01
y4 =
    -4.970810349993776e-02
yn1 =
     2.487509121241510e-01
yn11 =
    -2.496352514349295e-02
yr =
     4.398727143758653e-02
yr11 =
     2.460985502335340e-01
yr111 =
    -4.401564490668385e-02

You must be certain your equations are written as you want them to be in order to get ‘accurate’ values. We have no control over that.

Experiment to get the results you want.
