What does 1 dekawatt (daW) represent?

One dekawatt equals 10 watts and measures the rate of energy transfer or work performed per unit time.

When should I use kilocalorie (th)/second instead of watts?

Kilocalorie (th)/second is used to express thermal power or heat flow rates, often in heating system or calorimetry applications.

Is the dekawatt to kilocalorie (th)/second conversion linear?

Yes, the conversion is linear, based on the fixed rate that 1 dekawatt equals 0.0023900574 kilocalorie (th)/second.
