George Vythoulkas
George Vythoulkas studied Mechanical Engineering in Kavala. He worked for 12 years in a marmor company as supervisor of production department and since 2002 has joined the School of Science of the International Hellenic University – Kavala Campus (formerly School of Technological Engineering of the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology) as laboratory assistant in courses as for example heat transfer and renewable energy recourses, doing experiments, such as heat flow, solar radiation, wind turbine generators, using weather data observations from the laboratory’s “Vaisala” weather station. Lately, we have expanded our capabilities by adding new devices in our laboratory, such as a thermographic camera “Fluir E300” and a “Hydrogenius” Fuel Cell unit from Hyliocentris.

Scientific Writing in Energy Engineering | In the communication of energy science, however, scientific writing potentially presents a weak link. Here, we address this problem by clarifying the principle conventions for writing articles in energy science. We propose a top-down approach to writing that begins with structuring the article into sections. Each section should, in turn, be structured in and of itself so that readers can: (i) comprehend the scientific context; (ii) grasp the research questions addressed; (iii) verify methods and results; and (iv) understand the significance of the results. Subsequently, authors should ensure clarity of their scientific arguments by: (i) presenting existing information at the beginning of a sentence and new infor-mation at the sentence’s end; (ii) articulating action with appropriate verbs, preferably in active voice; (iii) placing statements in positive form; and (iv) using consistent technical terminology. | 6 | N.
