I keep getting this error but I do not see what is wrong. I need to plot concentrations of species a through g over a time tau
This is my code:
c0 = [2 2 0 0 0 0 0]; %feed concentrations
v = [-2 -1 1 1 0 0 0;
0 0 -2 0 1 1 0;
0 -1 0 0 0 -1 1]; %stoichiometric matrix
k = [0.100 0.05 0.037 2.5 .6]; %rate constants
options = []; %options use by fsolve
% loop over tau2's
for tau2vec=[0:0.5:30];
[c2,fval,exitflag] = fsolve(@mysolv,c0,options);
if exitflag<=0, warning('fsolve did not converge'),end
end
plot(tau2vec,ca2,'-r',tau2vec,cb2,'-b', tau2vec,cc2,'.-g',tau2vec,cd2,'-',tau2vec,ce2,'oy',tau2vec,cf2,'-',tau2vec,cg2,'+b');
xlabel('time (min)')
legend('c_A','c_B','c_C','c_D','c_E','c_F','c_G',0)
ylabel('concentration (M)')
title('Concentration Profiles Part B')
% function definition, fsolve will iterate on c2 until mysolv(c2) is zero
function y = mysolv(c2)
ca2 = c2(1);
cb2 = c2(2);
cc2 = c2(3);
cd2 = c2(4);
ce2 = c2(5);
cf2 = c2(6);
cg2 = c2(7);
r2 = [k(1)*ca2^2*cb2 - k(2)*cc2*cd2;
k(3)*cc2^2;
k(4)*cb2*cf2-k(5)*cg2];
R2 = v'*r2;
y = c0 - c2 + R2*tau2vec; % tau2 and c0 are defined outside the function
end
end

Which line is reporting too many input arguments?

Where do you define ca2, cb2, ...? Do you need to get those from the value of c2 at each iteration of your loop?

Yes. I need to output each species concentration from the c2 value that is being solved. The initial species concentrations are in the c0 vector.

Currently you're overwriting the value of c2 at every iteration. You should do something like
TAU2VEC = [0:0.5:30];
C2 = zeros(length(c0), length(TAU2VEC)
for k=1:length(TAU2VEC)
tau2vec =TAU2VEC(k);
[c2,fval,exitflag] = fsolve(@mysolv,c0,options);
if exitflag<=0, warning('fsolve did not converge'),end
C2(:,k) = c2;
end
Then you'll plot with C2 and TAU2VEC.
