title: Design and construction of a temperature wave generator.
abstract: A sinusoidal temperature wave generator has been developed and constructed. It consists of a cold plate, a heating coil, and an electronic feedback control with a thermocouple sensor. The design criteria, heating and cooling calculations, and electronic and mechanical construction details are presented and described. Results are shown, and possible modifications are discussed.
