What is a decijoule per second (dJ/s)?

A decijoule per second is an SI-derived unit of power equal to 0.1 watt, measuring energy transfer rates at small scales commonly used in scientific and electronic contexts.

Why would I convert dJ/s to calorie (IT)/hour?

Converting to calorie (IT)/hour helps represent very small heat flow rates in thermal, calorimetric, and historical technical contexts where calories per hour are standard.

Is calorie (IT)/hour an SI unit?

No, calorie (IT)/hour is not an SI unit; it is used mainly in specialized thermal measurements and legacy applications.
