What does one deciwatt represent?

One deciwatt equals one tenth of a watt (0.1 W) and is used to measure small power levels.

What is Btu (th)/second used for?

Btu (th)/second measures heat transfer rate and is commonly applied in HVAC system ratings and thermal energy evaluations.

Can I use this converter for dynamic thermal power calculations?

No, the converter is intended for steady-state power and does not account for transient or dynamic thermal changes.
