What does one deciwatt represent?

A deciwatt (dW) equals one tenth of a watt and measures the rate of energy transfer or power output at small scales.

Where is Btu (th)/minute commonly used?

Btu (th)/minute indicates thermal energy flow rates and is used in HVAC systems, industrial thermal processes, and building load assessments.

Can I use this converter for transient power measurements?

No, this conversion is based on steady-state power conditions and does not account for transient thermal effects.
