What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical British thermal units delivered per second, used in thermal energy flow applications.

A dekawatt (daW) is a metric power unit equal to 10 watts, used to describe energy transfer or work done per unit time.

Why convert from Btu (th)/second to dekawatt?

Converting enables translating thermal power rates into metric units preferred in engineering, aiding in design, performance comparison, and cross-disciplinary use.
