1-D HEAT CONDUCTION IN A FRACTAL MEDIUM: A solution by the Local Fractional Fourier Series Method

Abstract

In this communication 1-D heat conduction in a fractal medium is solved by the local fractional Fourier series method. The solution developed allows relating the basic properties of the fractal medium to the local heat transfer mechanism.
