Please provide values below to convert kilojoule/second [kJ/s] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to kilojoule/second.
How to Convert Kilojoule/second to Dekawatt
1 kJ/s = 100 daW
Example: convert 15 kJ/s to daW:
15 kJ/s = 15 × 100 daW = 1500 daW
Kilojoule/second to Dekawatt Conversion Table
| kilojoule/second | dekawatt |

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.
Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
