A new scheme to formulating the Caputo time-fractional model for the flow of Brinkman-type fluid between the plates was introduced by using the generalized laws of Fourier and Fick. Within a channel, free convection flow of the electrically conducted Brinkman-type fluid was considered. A newly generated transformation was applied to the heat and mass concentration equations. The governing equations were solved by the techniques of Fourier sine and the Laplace transforms. In terms of the special function, namely, the Mittag-Leffler function, final solutions were obtained. The entropy generation and Bejan number are also calculated for the given flow. To explain the conceptual arguments of the embedded parameters, separate plots are represented in figures and are often quantitatively computed and presented in tables. It is worth noting that for increasing the values of the Brinkman-type fluid parameter, the velocity profile decreases. The regression analysis shows that the variation in the velocity for time parameter is statistically significant.
