Abstract
In this research work, generalized thermal and mass transports for the unsteady flow model of an incompressible differential type fluid are considered. The Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative is used for the respective generalization of Fourier’s and Fick’s laws. A MHD fluid flow is considered near a flat vertical surface subject to unsteady mechanical, thermal, and mass conditions at boundary. The governing equations of flow model are solved by integral transform, and closed form results for generalized momentum, thermal, and concentration fields are obtained. Generalized thermal and mass fluxes at boundary are quantified in terms of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, respectively, and presented in tabular form. The significance of the physical parameters over the momentum, thermal, and concentration profiles is characterized by sketching the graphs.
1. Introduction
Fractional calculus has been expanding rapidly in the present time for the sake of its applications in the modeling and physical explanation of natural phenomenon. The noninteger derivatives of fractional order have been applied successfully to the generalization of fundamental laws of nature specially in the transport phenomenon.
Several approaches [1–4] of fractional derivatives have been proposed and utilized for the different proposes by many theorists from different fields of sciences and technology [5]. Imran et al. [6] considered two different approaches of fractional differential operators for the flow of MHD Newtonian fluid under the arbitrary boundary conditions, namely, Atangana and Caputo–Fabrizio. Kumar et al. [7] explained the Cauchy reaction diffusion equations by fractional calculus. Qureshi et al. [8] applied the fractional derivative to model a blood flow and discussed the concentration level of ethanol in blood circulation system. Hristov [9] considered a steady-state heat conduction and obtained analytical solutions by applying the Caputo–Fabrizio approach of fractional derivative. Imran et al. [10, 11] considered the Caputo time fractional derivative to discuss the slippage flow over an exponentially accelerated plate and for the flow of differential fluid past stationary heated vertical plate. Ahmad et al. [12] compared two flow models, one with the power law kernel and the other with the nonsingular kernel. Khalid et al. [13] obtained the results for flow of micropolar fluid and applied the fractional derivative for heat and mass transport. Shukla et al. [14] presented a report regarding applications of fractional calculus. Kumar et al. [15] explored the results for free convectional motion with a uniform temperature through a porous media by utilizing the power, exponential, and Mittag–Leffler kernels of fractional operator. Singh et al. [16] constructed the dynamic fractional model to explain the smoking dynamics. Sun et al. [17] presented a collection of real world applications of fractional differential operators. Nazar et al. [18] discussed the double convectional flow via two approaches of noninteger operators and compared the obtained results of thermal, mass, and momentum profiles. Gomez et al. [19] solved fractional diffusion-advection equation and obtained the analytical solution for supper diffusion. Tran et al. [20] discussed the stabilities of fractional differential equation. Recently, Tuan et al. [21] endorsed the fractional calculus to demonstrate the transition model of COVID-19. Hristov et al. [22] applied the mixed time-space derivative to obtain the result for transient flow of non-Newtonian fluid. Saqib et al. [23], Haq et al. [24], and Imran et al. [25] utilized the fractional differential operator with the nonsingular kernel to obtain the fractional result for the flow of Jeffery, and second grade fluids. Some more investigations regarding Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivatives are found in [26–28].
Hristov et al. [29] suggested the generalized transient thermal transport with damping contribution, by considering the Caputo–Fabrizio idea of nonsingular kernel. Aleem et al. [30], Sheikh et al. [31] and Ahmad et al. [32] followed the track suggested in [29] and applied it to describe the generalized heat and mass transfer flow. In light of the above motivational investigations, we are interested in discussing the generalized thermal and mass transports with heat generation and chemical reaction for the flow of second grade fluid through a porous media, with the existence of a magnetic field.
2. Mathematical Formulation
Suppose that the second grade fluid is lying in the vicinity of a vertical plate with ambient temperature and concentration level . The orientation of the plate in the coordinate system is placed with y-axis becoming normal to the plane of plate as shown in Figure 1. Initially, the physical system containing boundaries and fluid is in complete equilibrium. Suddenly, plate starts moving with velocity ; at this moment, the temperature of plate and the concentration level near the plate rise or fall according to and , respectively, where , , and are arbitrary functions and satisfy , , and , respectively. The contribution of Lorentz force is also applied for the flow of fluid. Moreover, the induced magnetic field and heat dissipation are small and can be negligible. Subject to Boussinesq’s approximation, the governing equations of respective flow take the following form [29, 30]:

5. Results and Parametric Discussion
This article is designed for the analysis of generalized thermal and mass transport flow of differential type fluid under generalized boundary conditions. The effects of magnetic field, heat source, and chemical reaction are also considered for flow model. The respective governing equations of flow model are solved analytically via integral transform method, and closed form expressions for field variables are attained.
The effects of potent parameters are also discussed graphically by plotting some graphs of for variation of appeared parameters. Figures 4(a) and 4(b) are sketched to explain the effect of fractional parameter and Pr over the temperature profile, and it is noted that the temperature of fluid is raised with the developing values of . Also, it is detected that the temperature falls down with the increasing values of Pr, because the fluid is thick, and momentum diffusivity is dominant to the thermal diffusivity for the greater Pr; therefore, fluid velocity slows down for increasing Pr. Figure 4(c) is drawn for three specification of , and it is noted that temperature profiles satisfy the boundary conditions.

Velocity profile is outlined in Figure 6(a) due variation of fractional parameters . The figure pattern shows that the fluid gains more and more momentum as tends to increase. The influence of Pr and Sc is signified in Figures 6(b) and 6(c). As Pr and Sc are quantified by the ratios of momentum diffusivity to thermal diffusivity and molecular diffusion coefficients, respectively, and for enhancing values of Pr and Sc referred to as the dominant momentum diffusivity, the fluid slows down for developing values of Pr and Sc.

Figure 7(a) is drawn to see the significance role of Gr for supporting the flow, and it is noted that the speed of fluid is elevated for developing values of Gr. As Gr is quantified by relative buoyancy force induced by the variations in temperature differences to the retarding force generates by the virtue of viscosity of the fluid, hence, for larger values of Gr, there is more convectional current, so fluid speeds up. The effects of thermal generation parameter , and chemical reaction parameters are discussed in Figures 7(b) and 7(c), and it is concluded that velocity profiles rise for enhancing values of and .

The subjectivity of magnetic parameter M is highlighted in Figure 8(a) and from this figure, it is seen that profile lowers down for increasing values of M, because strong magnetic field creates more hindrance to the flow of fluid. Figure 8(b) shows the effect of K and it is seen that fluid speeds up with the increasing values of K. The increasing values of K refer to the decreasing effect of porosity, and hence, fluid velocity increases with the enhancing values of K. Figure 8(c) is plotted for three specifications of ; from the profiles, it is clear that velocity profiles satisfy the boundary conditions for different . The present results for velocity and temperature are also compared with the existing results obtained by Sheh et al. [27] in Figures 9(a) and 9(b). The overlapping profiles confirm the validity of our results.
