In this study, a one-dimensional heat transfer measurement device is developed based on the mathematical theory of the Angstrom method. To conform to the mathematical assumption, it is required that the device precisely controls the heat source to generate sinusoidal temperature signal. A thermo-electric module is used as the heat source for the measurement platform. This module is connected to a computer for program control, such that the temperature can be controlled quickly, precisely, and dynamically. In this study, five common heat-conducting materials are tested to verify the proposed one-dimensional heat transfer measurement device. By substituting the experimental results into the mathematical model of the Angstrom method, the thermal diffusion and thermal conductivity of the test material is calculated. The experimental results are compared with the physical properties of the materials, and the accuracy error is extremely low. This study confirmed that the Angstrom method theory applied thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity measurement, which can be realized by thermo-electric temperature control technology.
