Summary The specific heat capacity of a series of n-alkanes was measured in a powercompensated differential scanning Calorimeter with high resolution. Above the melting point the specific heat capacity increases strictly linear with temperature until 430 K. In this region no transition of first, second or third order could be found. Between 450 and 480 K the nalkanes show an exothermic effect bound to the first run with hermetically sealed sample pans. It is assumed that this effect is a pressure induced epitactic ordering phenomenon correlative to the surface of the sample pan.
