Figures: In Section 5, we aligned Figures 14–18 by consistently adding all the modelling parameters inside the labels [1]. We also revised the captions for Figures 14–18 to clearly state what they represent [1]. The correct Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 17, Figure 18 appears below.

Text Correction: In Section 2, the following text was added: “Similar to previous studies [2]”, “b is a parameter that is b > 0 for heated and b < 0 for cooled plate”. The correct text appears below.
Similar to previous studies [2], here, , and are the velocity components of a fluid and dusty fluid phase along the x- and y-directions, respectively; the dusty and fluid phase temperatures are Tp and T; is the dynamic viscosity; is the effective density; is the thermal conductivity; b is a parameter that is b > 0 for heated and b < 0 for cooled plate; is the electrical conductivity; and are the specific heat coefficients; is the heat equilibrium time; is the Stokes drag/resistance term; is the kinematic viscosity of nanoparticles N; is the flow permeability; and is a relaxation time parameter, where m denotes the mass of dusty particles [2].
In Section 2, we corrected the typographical error in the definition of the Prandtl number. The correct one is .
In Section 5, we revised the text to avoid ambiguity regarding the results of Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16 [1]. The correct text appears below.
Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16 show the temperatures for the fluid and dusty phases for different values of S = −2, 0 and 2, respectively. Increasing S value increases the thermal boundary layer thickness of the fluid phase. The dusty phase exhibits an increase in the thermal boundary layer when S increases from −2 to 0, while decreases for S = 2.
Equations: In Equations (35)–(39), there are typographical errors. We revised the subscript thnf to tnf. In Equation (38), we also revised the κnf to κf. The correct equations appears below:
Nomenclature: We added the units that were missing in several parameters and corrected the typographical errors in some of the parameters [1]. The correct Nomenclature appears below.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. These corrections were approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
