Abstract This paper investigates the flow of a second‐grade viscoelastic fluid with dust particles under hydromagnetic effects between vertical plates. This study investigates the effects of the left plate's oscillations, which induce fluid motion, on heat and mass transfer, and particle temperature. The study also considers the variable temperature and concentration. Mathematical models are developed using partial differential equations to represent the flow regime. To generalize energy and concentration Fick's and Fourier's laws are employed. Laplace and finite Fourier‐Sine transforms are then used to solve the resulting system of dimensionless equations. Finally, Zakian's numerical technique is used in MATHCAD software to compute the Laplace inverse and obtain the final solution. The research concludes that the fractional approach is more realistic and practical than the classical approach. Changes in mass and heat transfer rates, as well as skin friction on the left plate, are observed over time across various physical parameters. Additionally, dust particles can be employed in various applications, including agriculture. In this sector, they can be mixed with water to create a dust suspension, which is subsequently sprayed over crops to enhance the effectiveness of pesticide application.
