Please help me to run this simple relation
Show older comments
I want to draw relation between T ( y-axis) and x ( x-axis) with change parameter B1.

Constant:
B2=0.01;B4=0.1;
vector
Parameter
B1=0.1:0.1:0.5

Probably the easiest way to do this is with a surf plot. Here, I combined it with a contour plot as well, using the surfc function.
Try something like this --
B2 = 0.01;
B4 = 0.1;
B1=0.1:0.1:0.5;
x = 0:0.01:1;
[xm,B1m] = ndgrid(x,B1);
T = (B1m-B2)./(3*B4) .* (1 + exp(xm));
figure
surfc(xm, B1m, T)
colormap(turbo)
colorbar
xlabel('x')
ylabel('B1')
zlabel('T')
.

I missed the fact that the first term was negated earlier. Corrected here.
Here you go ---
B2 = 0.01;
B4 = 0.1;
B1=0.1:0.1:0.5;
x = 0:0.01:1;
[xm,B1m] = ndgrid(x,B1);
T = (B1m-B2)./(3*B4) .* (exp(xm) - 1);
figure
plot(x, T)
grid
xlabel('x')
ylabel('T')
title('$T(x,B1) = \frac{(B1-B2)}{3B4}(e^x-1)$', Interpreter='LaTeX')
legend(compose('B1 = %.1f', B1), Location='best')
figure
surfc(xm, B1m, T)
colormap(turbo)
colorbar
xlabel('x')
ylabel('B1')
zlabel('T')
title('$T(x,B1) = \frac{(B1-B2)}{3B4}(e^x-1)$', Interpreter='LaTeX')

My pleasure!
That assignment creates matrices of the same sizes for 'x' and 'B1', creating 'xm' (x matrix) and 'B1m' (B1 matrix). The matrices are important because they make the calculations easier, eliminating explicit loops that would otherwise be required.
The 'T' calculation
T = (B1m-B2)./(3*B4) .* (exp(xm) - 1);
then uses them to produce its own matrix, with dimensions matching the original matrices. That makes the plotting easier.
The 'dot operators force array (element-wise) division (./) and multiplication (.*) rather than matrix division and multiplication.
