description

In this paper the authors introduce a physical picture of anomalous heat transfer in rigid conductor. The analysis shows that a fractional-order Fourier transport is obtained by the analysis of the heat transport in a functionally graded conductor. The order of the fractional-type operator obtained is related to the grading of the physical properties of the conductor.
