Matlab

Numerical computing environment and programming language

MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory") is a proprietary multi- paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities. An additional package, Simulink, adds graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems.

As of 2020, MATLAB has more than 4 million users worldwide.

Teaching thermo-chemical equilibrium using a MATLAB algorithm
2025
The chemical equilibrium model is significantly more accurate than the perfect gas model when calculating constant heat release as pertains to systems taught in courses within the thermo-fluid area of mechanical and aerospace engineering curricula, including thermodynamics, propulsion, and internal combustion engines. This paper presents a novel approach to teaching chemical equilibrium using a method based on matrix factorization. The advantages of the present approach, when compared to previous algorithms based …
