What does a decijoule per second measure?

A decijoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer or consumption, equal to 0.1 watt, commonly used for small power levels in scientific and engineering settings.

Why convert decijoule/second to kilojoule/hour?

Converting dJ/s to kJ/h helps express instantaneous small power values as energy rates over longer hourly periods, which is useful in fields like building physics and metabolic research.

Are there any accuracy issues when converting these units?

Yes, converting from instantaneous units like dJ/s to kJ/h averages power over an hour and may not capture rapid changes, so it can introduce approximation errors.
