What does one dekawatt represent?

One dekawatt (symbol daW) equals 10 watts and measures the rate of energy transfer or work per unit time.

In which fields is the kilocalorie (IT)/minute unit commonly used?

It is used in fitness and physiology to express metabolic energy expenditure, and in heating or cooling applications involving food-energy units.

Can I use this conversion for transient power changes?

No, this conversion is optimal for steady-state energy transfer and does not factor in transient or efficiency variations.
