In this paper, Novel (Gʹ/G)-expansion method is used to find new generalized exact travelling wave solutions of fractional order coupled Burger’s equations in terms of trigonometric functions, rational functions and hyperbolic functions with arbitrary parameters. For the conversion of the partial differential equation to the ordinary differential equation, complex transformation method is used. Novel (Gʹ/G)-expansion method is very effective and provides a powerful mathematical tool to solve nonlinear equations. Moreover, for the representation of these exact solutions we have plotted graphs for different values of parameters which were in travelling waveform.

1. Introduction
Fractional complex transformation as in [1] is utilized for transformation of nonlinear fractional order partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The one-dimensional case of Burger’s equation was introduced by a Dutch scientist J. M. Burger in 1939 see [2], its general form is given as
Afterward, new type of Burger’s equation was presented in further research named as time-space fractional order coupled Burger’s equations [3], which has the form

An assortment of approaches occurs for nonlinear equations which gives their travelling wave and numerical solutions. Wang et al. introduced (Gʹ/G)-expansion method [4].
