In this paper, we have proposed a model of accelerating universe with binary mixture of bulk viscous fluid and dark energy (DE) and probed the model parameters: present values of Hubble’s constant [Formula: see text], equation of state paper of DE [Formula: see text] and density parameter of DE [Formula: see text] with recent observational [Formula: see text] data (OHD) as well as joint Pantheon compilation of SN Ia data and OHD. Using cosmic chronometric technique, we obtain [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by restricting our derived model with recent OHD and joint Pantheon compilation SN Ia data and OHD, respectively. The present age of the universe in derived model is estimated as [Formula: see text]. Also, we observe that derived model represents a model of transitioning universe with transition redshift [Formula: see text]. We have constrained the present value of jerk parameter as [Formula: see text] with joint OHD and Pantheon data. From this analysis, we observed that the model of the universe, presented in this paper, shows a marginal departure from [Formula: see text]CDM model.
