What is the dekajoule per second unit used for?

Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is used to measure power, particularly in contexts like household lighting, appliances, and engineering specifications.

Why convert daJ/s to kilocalorie (th)/minute?

Converting to kilocalorie (th)/minute helps express power in terms of thermal energy transfer, useful in physiology, calorimetry, and thermal appliance ratings.

Can I use kilocalorie (th)/minute for non-thermal power?

No, this unit is specific to thermal energy transfer and is not appropriate for non-thermal power measurements.
