What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, indicating thermal power flow.

When should I use decijoule/second?

Decijoule/second is best used for expressing small power levels such as those in low-power electronics or laboratory thermal/acoustic measurements.

Can I use decijoule/second for high power values?

While possible, decijoule/second is not ideal for very high thermal power rates due to managing large numerical values which may affect readability.
