        <p>In this paper, we deal with a study of modified time-fractional Burgers equations. The idea is based on the use of a Cole-Hopf transformation which transforms the time-fractional modified Burgers equations into linear parabolic time fractional equations. To solve the latter, we use the Fourier transformation. Therefore, the solution of the modified time-fractional Burgers equations can be found by using the solution of parabolic equation and the inverse Cole-Hopf transformation.</p>

In this section, we discuss a example to test the performance and accuracy of the method.
The numerical results arrived by this method are compared with analytic solution for various
values of  , and  . To show the accuracy of the method, both the relative error  1-norm and
 ∞-norm respectively are given by

      <p>After computing, let’s give in Figure ?? and Figure ?? respectively the graphs of the numerical
solution and the exact solution. For simulation, we take the following data,  = 0.1,  =
0.1,  = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 0.9 respectively,
It can be see from Figure ??, at diferent time, there is no diference between the numerical and
the exact solution curve. In addition, as the time increases, the solution curve approach the 
-axis and the viscosity value becomes smaller. More, from each of the graphs in Figure ??, we
can be observe that as  increases, the numerical solution curve are in good agreement with

7. Conclusion
In this paper, we deal with a study of the modified Burgers equation with fractional conformal
derivatives with respect to time. The presence of both the fractional time derivative and the
nonlinear term in this equation makes solving the problem more dificult. The idea is to use
the Cole-Hopf transform to reduce the modified Burgers equation of temporal fractional
conformable derivative to a modified linear equation of temporal fractional conformable
derivative. Then we can solve the latter using the Fourier transformation. Therefore, the solution
of the time-fractional conformable modified Burgers equation can be found using both the
solution of the parabolic equation and the inverse Cole-Ho transformation. For illustration, the
experimental simulations are given to show the interest of this approach.</p>
