partial derivatives system of differential equations in multiple unknowns

Hi all
i have some problem with pdepe : "Unable to perform assignment because the size of the left side is 4-by-1 and the size of the right side is 4-by-4."
I have 4 differential equation, one of these has two indipendent variables. These equations are connected also in terms of BC
r = (0:0.01: 1);
t = (0:0.01:2);
m = 1;
sol = pdepe(m,@pdefun,@pdeic,@pdebc,r,t);
Th = sol(:,:,1);
Tg = sol(:,:,2);
Tsurfintchamber=sol(:,:,3);
Qdot=sol(:,:,4);
function [c,effe,s] = pdefun(r,t,T,dTdr)
Th=T(1);
Tg=T(2);
Tsurfintchamber=T(3);
Qdot=T(4);
y1=((hcoefficientinternalcyclefinal*Abobbin.*(T(1)-T(2)))-...
(hcoefficientoutcyclefinal*Ainternalsurfacechamber.*(T(2)-T(3))))./(densityxenonhotgas*Accycle2*Lbobbin*cvxenon);
y2=(1/((Nuout*thermalconductivity/((2*Rintchambercycle2final)-...
(2*Rextbobbincycle2final)))*(Rintchambercycle2final)))/(2*pi*Lbobbin);
y3=((1/((Nuout*thermalconductivity/((2*...
Rintchambercycle2final)-(2*Rextbobbincycle2final)))*(Rintchambercycle2final)))+...
((log(0.0129./(Rintchambercycle2final)))/ThermalconductivityAISI304)+((log((0.0129+0.005)./0.0129))/PROMALIGHT1200thermalconductivity)+...
((log((0.0129+0.005+Thicknessoutercylinder)./(0.0129+0.005)))/ThermalconductivityAISI304));
y4=(Power/(((pi/4)*Dtantalum^2)*Lstraightheater))+hcoefficientinternalcyclefinal*dTdr(1);
c=[densitytantalum*specificheattantalum,0,0, 0;0,1,0,0;0,-1,1,y2;0,-(10/100)*2*pi*Lbobbin, 0, y3];
effe=[thermalconductivitytantalum;0;0;0]*dTdr(1);
s=[y4;y1;0;0];
end
function T0 = pdeic(r)
Tcoldgas=300;%kelvin
T0 = [Tcoldgas; Tcoldgas;Tcoldgas;0];
end
function [pL,qL,pR,qR] = pdebc(rL,TL,rR,TR,t)
hcoefficientinternalcyclefinal=21.697199999999990;
pL = [TL(1)-900; 0;0;0];
qL = [0; 0;0;0];
pR = [hcoefficientinternalcyclefinal*(TR(1)-TR(2)); 0;0;0];
qR = [-1;0;0;0];
end

But what you have not said is what are the differential equations, the boundary conditions, etc. All you have shown is code that is clearly in error.
the equations are in this form c(x,t,u,Du/Dx) * Du/Dt = x^(-m) * D(x^m * f(x,t,u,Du/Dx))/Dx + s(x,t,u,Du/Dx)
Initial conditions:
T0 = [Tcoldgas; Tcoldgas;Tcoldgas;0];
boundary conditions are in this form:
p(x,t,u) + q(x,t) * f(x,t,u,Du/Dx) = 0
