Atangana and Baleanu (AB) in their recent work introduced a new version of fractional derivatives which uses the generalized Mittag-Leffler function as the non-singular and non-local kernel and accepts all properties of fractional derivatives. This articles aims to apply the AB fractional derivative to free convection flow of generalized Casson fluid due to the combined gradients of temperature and concentration with heat generation and first order chemical reaction. For the sake of comparison, this problem is also solved via Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) derivative technique. Exact solutions in both cases of AB and CF derivatives are obtained via Laplace transform and compared graphically as well as in tabular form. In the case of AB approach, the influence of pertinent parameters on velocity field is displayed in plots and discussed. It is found that for a unit time, the velocities obtained via AB and CF derivatives are identical. Velocities for the time less than 1 show little variation and for time bigger than 1, this variation increases.

This article deals with the generalization of natural convection flow of $Cu - Al_{2}O_{3} - H_{2}O$ hybrid nanofluid in two infinite vertical parallel plates. To demonstrate the flow phenomena in two parallel plates of hybrid nanofluids, the Brinkman type fluid model together with the energy equation is considered. The Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative and the Laplace transform technique are used to developed exact analytical solutions for velocity and temperature profiles. The general solutions for velocity and temperature profiles are brought into light through numerical computation and graphical representation. The obtained results show that the velocity and temperature profiles show dual behaviors for $0 < \alpha < 1$ and $0 < \beta < 1$ where α and β are the fractional parameters. It is noticed that, for a shorter time, the velocity and temperature distributions decrease with increasing values of the fractional parameters, whereas the trend reverses for a longer time. Moreover, it is found that the velocity and temperature profiles oppositely behave for the volume fraction of hybrid nanofluids.
