From the Editor's on-line posting: "CV of Francis de Winter: Francis de Winter and Associates, Contract R&D and Engineering Consultancy in the Thermal Sciences.Educational Background Mechanical Engineer (1961), M.S. (1960), B.S. (1958), all in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA Secondary-Buenos Aires, Argentina Primary-Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.Technical Experience Mr. de Winter has specialized in heat transfer and such associated fields as fluid flow and thermodynamics. He has worked on freeze-drying and on desalination, on the design of instruments for determining thermophysical properties of materials, on thermal control of space vehicles, and on spacecraft power system design, notably the JPL Venus-Mercury Flyby Mission (Mariner 10) and the JPL Voyager mission to the outer planets, and now to space beyond. The JPL spacecraft power work involved solar photovoltaic, solar thermionic, and radioisotope thermoelectric power system design. In terrestrial solar energy applications, Mr. de Winter has worked on swimming pool heating and domestic water heating, on flat plate collectors and on concentrating collectors, on heat exchangers in solar water heating systems, and on gas water heaters for solar backup service and for stand-alone service. The de Winter "Heat Exchanger Factor" for solar water heating has become a standard part of the solar energy literature, and is used worldwide. Professional Society Activities Elected in late 2007 for a fourth term (of three years) as Member of the Board of Directors, International Solar Energy Society (ISES). Past Member, Board of Directors, American Solar Energy Society (ASES), from 1976 to 1991. Other positions held in ASES include Past Chairman (1978, 1982, 1984, 1985), Past Vice-Chairman (1980), and Past Treasurer (1981, 1988-1991). Mr. de Winter has been involved in many committees in ISES as well as ASES. He was Finance Chairman for the 1991 ISES World Congress in Denver, Colorado, Chairman of the 1986 ASES Annual Meeting in Boulder, Colorado, and Technical Program Chairman for the 1978 ISES World Congress in New Delhi. He is a past Member of the Board of Directors of the Solar Lobby. He is the 1983 recipient of the ASES Charles Greeley Abbot Award, a member of the Solar Energy Hall of Fame. Good.
