How do I plot outside temperature versus time in Matlab?

10 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I'm not sure how to graph the following code in Matlab (Temperaure over 24 hour period should look sinusodal):
for t = 1:24
T(t,1) = (((Tmax - Tmin)/2)+((Tmax - Tmin)/2) * sin(((t - 9)/12)*Pi));
Thank you!

Gotcha! See my answer below. If you want to start from midnight instead of mid day, change the +3 to -9.

Where is temperature data to plot across time hours?

no for loop needed.
Tmax = 310;
Tmin = 298;
t=(1:24)'; % transposed if you want a column vs row
T = ((Tmax - Tmin)/2) + ((Tmax-Tmin)/2)*sin((t-9)/12*pi)
figure
plot(T)

clc; clear
Tmax = 310; % Maximum daily temperature (3pm)
Tmin = 298; % Minimum daily temperature (3am)
x = 1:24;
Graph = 12*sin(((x+3)*pi)/12);
plot(Graph)
This assumes you start at mid day.
