To better describe the phenomenon of non-Fourier heat conduction, the fractional Cattaneo heat equation is introduced from the generalized Cattaneo model with two fractional derivatives of different orders. The anomalous heat conduction under the Neumann boundary condition in a semi-infinity medium is investigated. Exact solutions are obtained in series form of the H-function by using the Laplace transform method. Finally, numerical examples are presented graphically when different kinds of surface temperature gradient are given. The effects of fractional parameters are also discussed.
In this paper,using the fractional Fourier law,we obtain the fractional heat conduction equation with a time-fractional derivative in the spherical coordinate system.The method of variable separation is used to solve the timefractional heat conduction equation.The Caputo fractional derivative of the order 0 〈 α≤ 1 is used.The solution is presented in terms of the Mittag-Leffler functions.Numerical results are illustrated graphically for various values of fractional derivative.
