- Using GLOBAL (with default = empty) instead of parameterizing the function calls: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/parameterizing-functions.html. If a variable is used in multiple functions then use nested functions.
- using matrix operations everywhere, a complete lack of array operations: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/array-vs-matrix-operations.html. This makes it unlikely that the function CFUNC was written to fulfill the requirements given in the ODE45 documentation: "The function dydt = odefun(t,y), for a scalar t and a column vector y, must return a column vector..." source: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/ode45.html#bu00_4l_sep_shared-odefun.
Must return a column vector error when using "ode45"

dUdt is empty when the error occurs. Possible causes (that should be adressed anyway):
Lets test it right now:
global m_ExtraSteam U0_shell V rho_0 U_steam
T0_shell = 105; % initial shell side temp, degC
P0_shell = 1.2; % initial pressure, bara
U0_shell = XSteam('uV_p', P0_shell);
Plimit = 3.3; % max pressure, bara
MW = 0.018015; % kg/mol
R = 0.00008205736; % bar.m3/mol.K
V = 233.21; % m3
rho_0 = XSteam('rhoV_p', P0_shell);
tb = 20; % Upper time interval limit
m_ExtraSteam = 35.08; % Flowrate of extra steam due to ST trip, kg/sec
cfunc(1,[1,2]) % fails the requirements
function dUdt = cfunc(t,U_steam)
% Variables
global m_ExtraSteam U0_shell V rho_0 U_steam
Ptube_in = 7;
Ptube_out = 6.5;
T_tube_out = 98;
if t<3.3
m_tube = 707.9;
T_tube_in = 91.7;
else
m_tube = 1131.2;
T_tube_in = 80.1;
end
% Find the Temp with Internal Energy
T = fsolve(@TfinderwU,100);
deltaH_tube = XSteam('h_pT', Ptube_out, T_tube_out) - XSteam('h_pT', Ptube_in, T_tube_in); % Specific enthalpy difference between the inlet and outlet of the tube side, kJ/kg
if ((m_tube*deltaH_tube)/(XSteam('hV_T', T) - XSteam('hL_T', T))) >= m_ExtraSteam
m_ExtraSteam_Condensation = m_ExtraSteam;
else
m_ExtraSteam_Condensation = (m_tube*deltaH_tube)/(XSteam('hV_T', T) - XSteam('hL_T', T));
end
m_steam_accumulated = m_ExtraSteam - m_ExtraSteam_Condensation; % Steam accumulated in the shell side, kg/sec
steam_mass = rho_0*V + m_steam_accumulated*t;
U_condensate = XSteam('uL_T', T);
CpL = XSteam('CpL_T', T);
Qcv = m_tube*CpL*(T_tube_out-T_tube_in);
% Differential Equation
