What does one deciwatt represent?

One deciwatt equals one tenth of a watt (0.1 W) and measures the rate of energy transfer or power at small scales.

Why convert deciwatt to kilocalorie (th)/minute?

Converting to kilocalorie (th)/minute helps express small electronic or physiological power values in terms of thermal energy flow, useful in metabolism or calorimetry.

Is this conversion suitable for transient power measurements?

No, the conversion is based on steady-state power transfer and does not account for transient effects.
