The error within this paper is in Eq. (1). The exponent on the square bracket term is given as 1/3 when it should be 1/m. The correct form of Eq. (1) is shown below including the text preceding and following the equation.

For a rectangular duct and an isothermal boundary condition, the dimensionless heat transfer is defined as (11)
NuA=[(2f(Pr)LA∗)m+({0.6135(f ReALA∗)1/3}5+{3.24(f ReA8π∊1/10)}5)m/5]1/m
where f(Pr)⁠, f ReA⁠, LA*⁠, and m are defined in Ref. 11. The duct aspect ratio ∊ is b/a⁠.
