What does decijoule/second measure?

Decijoule per second (dJ/s) is an SI-derived unit of power that equals 0.1 watt and measures the rate of energy transfer, typically for small power levels.

What is kilocalorie (th)/second used for?

Kilocalorie (th)/second quantifies thermal power or heat flow rates based on the thermochemical calorie, commonly used in calorimetry and thermal engineering.

Can I use this conversion for large power values?

This tool is best suited for small power values since decijoule/second is a small unit and converting large values may lead to impractically small result numbers.

How to Convert from Decijoule/second [dJ/s] to Kilocalorie (th)/second?

Learn how to convert power values from decijoule per second (dJ/s), a small SI-derived unit of power, into kilocalorie (th)/second, a unit used for thermal power measurement based on thermochemical calories.
