What does dekajoule per second measure?

Dekajoule per second is an SI-derived unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts.

Why use kilocalorie (th)/hour instead of watts?

Kilocalorie (th)/hour quantifies heat flow using thermochemical calories, which is useful in HVAC and appliance industry contexts involving heat transfer.

Can this conversion be used for precise scientific calculations?

While useful for general thermal engineering, the conversion involves non-SI units and assumes standard energy contents, so precision depends on specific thermal standards.
