Two temperature fractional order thermoelasticity theory in a spherical domain

This article is an application of fractional thermoelasticity in association with two-temperature theory. The fractional heat conduction model has been proposed to investigate the thermal variations within the bounded spherical region. The corresponding heat conduction equation has been derived in the context of the generalized two-temperature theory of fractional thermoelasticity. The analytical solutions of thermal variations have been obtained in the Laplace domain, which are inverted using the Gaver-Stehfest algorithm in the time domain. Kuznetsov convergence criterion has been discussed for the bounded variations and stability of the problem. The delay time translations used in the heat flux vector and the temperature gradient result in the finite speed of thermal wave propagation. As a special case of time fractional derivative, the classical and generalized thermoelasticity theories have been recovered.
