What is a kilocalorie (th)/second?

It is a power unit that quantifies thermal energy transfer at a rate of one thermochemical kilocalorie per second, exactly equal to 4184 watts.

When should I use deciwatt as a unit?

Deciwatt is useful to express small power outputs around 0.1 watt, common in small electronics, sensors, and laboratory measurements.

How do I convert kilocalorie (th)/second to deciwatt?

Multiply the value in kilocalorie (th)/second by 41840 to get the equivalent power in deciwatt.
