What does one deciwatt represent?

A deciwatt equals one tenth of a watt (0.1 W) and is used to express small power levels, especially in electronics and sensors.

What is Btu (IT)/second used for?

Btu (IT)/second measures the rate of heat energy transfer per second, commonly employed in heating, HVAC, and industrial thermal evaluations.

Why convert deciwatt to Btu (IT)/second?

This conversion allows comparison between electrical power and thermal energy rates, facilitating engineering and industrial heat transfer analysis.
