Question

Write a MATLAB program that will determine the condition of a nuclear reactor. The user will input the temperature and pressure values read from gages. The program will determine the state of the nuclear reactor and then output using fprintf the following statement: The Nuclear Reactor is categorized as: followed by the correct Category.  

Other Requirements for the Program: If the readings put the condition in two different categories, the higher category should be selected. For example, a reactor with a temperature/pressure reading of 366/157, respectively, would be categorized as “very severe” for the temperature reading and “severe” for the pressure reading. The program should output “very severe.”

The table below will be of use:

Category	Temperature	Pressure
Normal	Below 344	Below 149
Moderate	345-354	150-154
Severe	355-364	155-159
Very Severe	365-374	160-164
Melt Down	Above 375	Above 165

Answer 1

temp = input('Enter temperature: ');
pressure = input('Enter pressure: ');
if temp>=375 || pressure>=165
reactor='Melt Down';
elseif temp>=365 || pressure>=160
reactor = 'Very Severe';
elseif temp>=355 || pressure>=155
reactor = 'Severe';
elseif temp>=345 || pressure>=150
reactor = 'Moderate';
else
reactor = 'Normal';
end
fprintf('The Nuclear Reactor is categorized as: %s\n',reactor)
