AbstractThe time-fractional heat conduction equation with the Caputo derivative of the order 0 < α ≤ 2 is considered in an infinite medium with a spherical hole in the central symmetric case under two types of Robin boundary condition: the mathematical one with the prescribed linear combination of the values of temperature and the values of its normal derivative at the boundary and the physical condition with the prescribed linear combination of the values of temperature and the values of the heat flux at the boundary. The integral transforms techniques are used. Several particular cases of the obtained solutions are analyzed. The numerical results are illustrated graphically.

Non-linear heat conduction with a power-law thermal diffusivity and ramped surface temperature has been solved by the double-integration technique of the integral-balance integral method. The case of a semi-infinite medium and infinite ramp of surface temperature has been considered as example demonstrating the versatility of the solution approach. The thermal penetration depth and solution behaviours with finite speeds have been analyzed.

Hairs of a polar bear are of superior properties such as the excellent thermal protection. The polar bears can perennially live in an extremely cold environment and can maintain body temperature at around 37 ?C. Why do polar bears can resist such cold environment? Its membrane-pore structure plays an important role. In the previous work, we established a 1-D fractional heat conduction equation to reveal the hidden mechanism for the hairs. In this paper, we further discuss solutions and parameters of the equation established and analyze heat conduction in polar bear hairs.

The transient heat conduction from two parallel isothermal cylinders is studied using the naturally fit bipolar cylindrical coordinates system. The energy equation is expanded in a Fourier series using appropriate basis functions to eliminate one of the physical coordinates. The resulting modes of the expansion are solved using a finite difference scheme. It is shown that, as is the case with a single isothermal cylinder in an infinite medium, steady states for two isothermal cylinders are not possible and heat transfer changes indefinitely with time.
