  In this paper we study the viability of an entropic cosmological model. The
effects of entropic gravity are derived from a modified entropy-area
relationship with a volumetric entropy term. This model describes a late time
limit cosmic acceleration, whose origin is related to a volumetric term in the
entropy. Moreover, we analyze the phenomenological implications of the entropic
model using the Supernovae Pantheon compilation and the observational Hubble
parameter data to find consistency with cosmological observations. Finally, we
show the equivalence between the entropic model and a brane world cosmological
model, by means of an effective geometrical construction.
