Fractional model for heat conduction in polar bear hairs

Abstract

Time-fractional differential equations can accurately describe heat conduction in fractal media, such as woolfibers, goose down and polar bear hair. The fractional complex transform is used to convert time-fractional heat conduction equations with the modified Riemann-Liouville derivative into ordinary differential equations, and exact solutions can be easily obtained. The solution process is straightforward and concise.
