function [T_mp,rho,cp,k,alpha] = Material_Properties(MN)
T_mp_vec = [1406 2192 693 2125]';
rho_vec = [19070 6100 7140 6570]';
cp_vec = [116 489 389 278]';
k_vec = [27.6 30.7 116 22.7]';
a_vec = [12.5 10.3 41.8 12.4]'*1e-6;
material = input("Pick a card, any card!", 's');
switch lower(material)
case 'uranium':
t_mp = T_mp_vec(1);
rho = rho_vec(1);
cp = cp_vec(1);
k = k_vec(1);
alpha = a_vec(1);
case 'vanadium'
t_mp = T_mp_vec(2);
rho = rho_vec(2);
cp = cp_vec(2);
k = k_vec(2);
alpha = a_vec(2);
otherwise
error('You were not supposed to pick THAT card!');
end
end
By the way, what is the purpose of the MN input the user can pass in?
