Atangana-Baleanu and Caputo Fabrizio Analysis of Fractional Derivatives for Heat and Mass Transfer of Second Grade Fluids over a Vertical Plate: A Comparative Study

This communication addresses a comparison of newly presented non-integer order derivatives with and without singular kernel, namely Michele Caputo–Mauro Fabrizio (CF) CF(∂β/∂tβ) and Atangana–Baleanu (AB) AB(∂α/∂tα) fractional derivatives. For this purpose, second grade fluids flow with combined gradients of mass concentration and temperature distribution over a vertical flat plate is considered. The problem is first written in non-dimensional form and then based on AB and CF fractional derivatives, it is developed in fractional form, and then using the Laplace transform technique, exact solutions are established for both cases of AB and CF derivatives. They are then expressed in terms of newly defined M-function M q (z) and generalized Hyper-geometric function pΨq(z). The obtained exact solutions are plotted graphically for several pertinent parameters and an interesting comparison is made between AB and CF derivatives results with various similarities and differences.
