AB - Time-fractional differential equations can accurately describe heat  conduction in fractal media, such as wool fibers, 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.
