flow/press equation

Hi everyone,

I've come up with this flow equation to describe pressure in an air chamber
However i don't know how to solve this ODE using Matlab, the appearance of p(t) in the equation for dp/dt confuses me.
F(t) is a sine wave.

dp(t)/dt = C*R1*dF(t)/dt – p(t)/R2 + (1+(R1/R2)*F(t)
C and R1 are constants

Greetings,

marc

  If the sine wave F(t) and its derivative are known, then this is exactly the form of differential equation that the ode functions are designed to solve. Look up their documentation.
