Hello Guest:

Beeswax refer here: http://hypertextbook.com/physics/thermal/heat-latent/

Paraffin wax refer here: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:Jis9lvHVjAYJ:answers.google.com/answers/threadview%3Fid%3D710490+latent+heat+paraffin+wax&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=7&gl=nz&client=firefox-a

You would not expect me to do all the work for you, would you.

That is because if I had done so, you would just copy the answers, without learning how to locate answers.

And so, you will realize that I have not given you the absolute numerical values.

That's because you need to do something for yourself, and locate the numerical values among those above webpages.

That way you hopefully may remember the information you asked for.

Kind Regards....

Sparkstation, your second link comprises unequal quantities of useful information and thrashing about in the dark. It might qualify as a satire, except that everything on that forum was probably posted in good faith and in all seriousness. It is a useful reminder that one should research a question before requesting advice from the experts. In an online forum, every poster is equally an expert, but some experts are more equal than others.

Why not just measure it? We don't quit being engineers if Wiki or Google are down.
