In the published article, there was an error in Table 5 as published. In the last column (Anode Mass flow rate) the incorrect value 0.1 mg/s was reported. The correct value is 1.0 mg/s. The corrected Table 5 and its caption appear below.

Table 5

Table 5. Engineering parameters used for the SPT20 simulations.

In the published article, there was an error. The reported mass flow rate of 0.1 mg/s is incorrect.

A correction has been made to 3 Results. This sentence previously stated:

“For the different propellants analyzed, the mass flow rate is fixed at m˙= 0.1 mg/s.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“For the different propellants analyzed, the mass flow rate is fixed at m˙= 1.0 mg/s.”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that these do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
