This project implements experimental Investigation on Solar chimney for room ventilation

MatCrea(Coeff,Flux,Wall,Tf,Ta,Ls,z,W,d) 
function [A B Area M] = MatCrea(Coeff,Flux,Wall,Tf,Ta,Ls,z,W,d)
% This function creates the matrix i.e. the coefficients of temperature and
% right hand side vector along with that some dimensional attributes.
%
% INPUT:    
%           Coeff = Structure containing various heat transfer
%                   coefficients
%           Flux = Structure containing solar radiation heat flux (W/m^2)
%           Wall = Structure containing properties of Wall 
% OUTPUT:
%           A = coefficients of temperature
%           B = right hand side vector
%           Area = dimensional attributes (m^2)
%           M = Mass flow rate (kg/s)

Lw = Ls - z/2;
%---area of wall and glass (m^2)
Area.Aw = Lw*W;
Area.Ag = Ls*W;
%---cross sectional area of inlet and outlet to air flow channel (m^2)
Area.Ai = z*W;
Area.Ao = d*W;
Area.Ar = Area.Ao/Area.Ai;

M = (0.57*Wall.Rof*Area.Ao/((1 + Area.Ar^2)^(1/2))*((2*9.81*Ls*(Tf-Ta)/Ta))^(1/2));
