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).
