Correct these two lines

Re=p*V*D/mu;%reynolds number equation
f=@(x)(1/sqrt(x)+2*log(e/(3.7*D)+2.51/(Re*sqrt(x))));

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

MATLAB has absolutely no implied multiplication. If you want p multiplied by V multiplied by D then you need p*V*D not pVD .

... otherwise if you had an m and a u variable, how would it know whether that division by mu was division by the variable mu or division by (m * u) or division by m and then multiplication by u ?
