In the paper of Duan [(1)], there is an error in the range of the Prandtl number (Pr) for Eqs. (14) and (15). The correlations of Notter and Sleicher [(2)], Eqs. (14) and (15), are valid for 0.004 < Pr < 0.1 not 0.04 < Pr < 0.1.

The author would like to acknowledge M. M. Awad of Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt, for bringing this to my attention.
