Convert deciwatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to deciwatt.
How to Convert Deciwatt to Kilojoule/second
1 dW = 0.0001 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 dW to kJ/s:
15 dW = 15 × 0.0001 kJ/s = 0.0015 kJ/s

Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
