What does 1 calorie (th)/second represent?

It represents the power of transferring one thermochemical calorie of energy per second.

Why use dekawatt instead of watt?

Dekawatt is convenient for expressing power in tens of watts, helpful for small motors and devices.

Can I convert dekawatt back to calorie (th)/second?

Yes, by using the inverse of the conversion factor, you can convert from dekawatt to calorie (th)/second.
