In this study, a physical system called the blood ethanol concentration model has been investigated in its fractional (non-integer) order version. The three most commonly used fractional operators with singular (Caputo) and non-singular (Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative in the Caputo sense-ABC and the Caputo-Fabrizio-CF) kernels have been used to fractionalize the model, whereas during the process of fractionalization, the dimensional consistency for each of the equations in the model has been maintained. The Laplace transform technique is used to determine the exact solution of the model in all three cases, whereas its parameters are fitted through the least-squares error minimization technique. It is shown that the fractional versions of the model based upon the Caputo and ABC operators estimate the real data comparatively better than the original integer order model, whereas the CF yields the results equivalent to the results obtained from the integer-order model. The computation of the sum of squared residuals is carried out to show the performance of the models along with some graphical illustrations. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
