What I'm trying to do is frustratingly simple. I'm trying to use the fzero function to find a root for the function below, at each value of "n" from 1 to 25. I'm currently running fzero for the function below, then manually changing the value of "n" to 2, saving the .m file, fzero'ing again, and so forth. I'm looking for a cleaner way to do this.
*As a tidbit of extra information that may be relevant, fzero only works when given an input of at least 46 in the form "fzero(@TerminalV,46). anything below that returns a "NaN".
function fx = TerminalV(v)
A = pi()*(0.15)^2/4;
T = [213.15:5:333.15];
for n=1;
fx = 9.8*0.5*2./(Density(T(n)).*A)-(v.^2).*(24./((Density(T(n)).*v.*0.15)./viscosity(T(n)))...;
+6./(1+(Density(T(n)).*v.*0.15./viscosity(T(n))).^0.5)+0.04);
end
end

Density, Viscosity, v?

My apologies. Density and Viscosity are external functions, both solely dependent on "T" in this case. "v" is the variable I'm trying to "zero" for.
function [rho]=Density(T)
rho= 101300./(287.*T);
function [mu] = viscosity(T)
%b1-b4 are all empirical constants
b1=2.156954157e-14;
b2=-5.332634033e-11;
b3=7.477905983e-8;
b4=2.527878788e-7;
mu = b1.*(T.^3)+b2.*(T.^2)+b3.*T+b4;

T?

T is the vector specified in the original code as:
T = [213.15:5:333.15]

Brilliant. Thank you so much. Could you explain why its necessecary to put the @(v) in front of the TerminalV, and why it doesnt work with just @TerminalV? Also if you would be so kind as to point me towards some resource that explains how to use fzero for functions with multiple inputs, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
