What does dekawatt measure?

Dekawatt (daW) is a metric power unit equal to 10 watts, measuring the rate of energy transfer or work done per unit time.

Why convert dekawatt to calorie (th)/second?

This conversion helps translate metric power units to legacy thermal units commonly used in calorimetry, heating element ratings, and older engineering literature.

Is calorie (th)/second an SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/second is a non-SI unit primarily used in older or legacy thermal measurements.
