What does one deciwatt represent?

One deciwatt equals one tenth of a watt and indicates the rate at which energy is transferred or converted in low power contexts.

Where is calorie (IT)/minute commonly used?

Calorie (IT)/minute is used mostly in contexts involving heat energy transfer, such as laboratory calorimetry and physiological metabolic rate measurements.

Why convert from deciwatt to calorie (IT)/minute?

Converting helps express small power levels in terms of heat energy rates, facilitating analysis in thermal energy and metabolic rate studies.
