Hi I am trying to calculate power but I cant seem to find out what is wrong (im a novice in matlab) The error is in the line for P_out.
%%An example of Matlab code
clc;clear;
format long;
%%Constants
hf_H2 = 0;
hf_O2 = 0;
hf_H2Og = -244820;
sf_H2 = 130.68;
sf_O2 = 205.14;
sf_H2Og = 188.72;
cp_H2O = 33.7;
cp_H2 = 29.5;
cp_O2 = 329.0;
Tref = 298;
Ru = 8.314;
T = 353;
n = 2;
F = 96487;
p_H2 = 1;
p_O2 = 0.21;
a_H2O = 1;
po = 1;
delT = T-Tref;
%%Calculate Nerst Reversible Cell Potential
% Calculate Gibbs Free Energy
delH = hf_H2Og+cp_H2O*delT - (hf_H2+cp_H2*delT) - 0.5*(hf_O2+cp_O2*delT);
delS = sf_H2Og+cp_H2O*log(T/Tref) - (sf_H2+cp_H2*log(T/Tref)) - 0.5*(sf_O2+cp_O2*log(T/Tref));
delG = delH - (Tref * delS);
% Reversible voltage
Ero = -delG/(n*F);
% Nerst Expression for voltage
Eo=Ero+(Ru*T/n/F)*log((p_H2/po)*(p_O2/po)^0.5);

Replace:
P_out(I_exp) = (V_cell(I_exp))* I_t;
With
P_out = (V_cell(I_exp))* I_t;
Your I_exp are real numbers, you cannot use real numbers like indices. Only +ve integers are used to index arrays/ matrices.
