To tackle the exact solutions of nonlinear fractional Bernoulli-type and Riccati-type differential equations involving conformable derivatives-as well as separable fractional  differential equations-these are skillfully transformed into an equivalent linear conformable system through appropriate variable substitutions. Theoretical results are further substantiated by detailed numerical and simulated examples. Moreover, the practical applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated through modeling liquid flow in engineering structures such as reservoirs, tanks, and funnels.
