A deciwatt (dW) is a subunit of power equal to one tenth of a watt, used to measure small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts.

When should I use calorie (th)/second as a power unit?

Calorie (th)/second is mainly used in thermal measurements such as calorimetry or for legacy thermal power data, especially when reporting heat flow in calories per second.

Is calorie (th)/second still widely used?

It is not commonly used today as it is a non-SI unit, but it remains relevant in specific laboratory, HVAC, and legacy data conversion scenarios.
