Dear All Can anyone help me about this equation Qb=Qba*(1-(0.3251).^2)+4*(0.985)*(5.67*10.^-8)*(TS).^3*(TT); When i run it , I get this error Error using * Inner matrix dimensions must agree. where Qba [37*37 double] TS[37*1 double] TT [37*31 double] Thank All

As you see, you want to multiply a [71x1] vector with a [37x31] matrix. This is mathematically not defined. What do you expect as output?

Of course it shows the same error for a [37x1] and [73x1] matrix. A valid Matrix multiplication would be: [1x37] and [37x1]. Please ask e.g. WikiPedia for the term "matrix multiplication".

4*(0.985)*(5.67*10.^-8)*(TS).^3*(TT)
Here according to the operator precedence this happens:
(some_constant * (TS.^3)) * TT
which would require a matrix of 37x1 to be multiplied by a matrix of size 37x31, which is giving you the error.
It is possible the calculation is not formulated correctly in the first place.

Thank you so much..Alexandra ..I want to get same size for TA and TS .But i don't now how .

It is not exactly clear what you are tying to achieve. Depending on what the vectors represent, the operation may not even make sense. Are you sure this is the computation you need?
