Unit Description
BTU per Second (BTU/s)
Definition
BTU per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per second. It's used in thermal engineering and HVAC applications, particularly in imperial unit systems.
History
BTU per second developed with the British Thermal Unit system and became important in thermal engineering and HVAC applications. It provided a power unit consistent with BTU energy measurements, particularly useful in heating and cooling system design.
Current Use
BTU per second is used in HVAC engineering, thermal system design, and heating/cooling applications. It's standard in imperial unit thermal calculations, boiler specifications, and air conditioning system ratings.
Deciwatt (dW)
Definition
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one tenth of a watt (0.1 W). It represents very small power levels typically found in low-power electronic devices, sensors, and precision instruments.
History
The deciwatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing a convenient unit for small power measurements. It became useful for describing power consumption of low-power electronic devices and precision instruments.
Current Use
Deciwatts are used for low-power electronic devices, sensor specifications, and precision instruments. They're found in specifications for small sensors, low-power circuits, and electronic devices requiring minimal power consumption.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 BTU per Second to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 10,550.6 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/s × 10,550.6
- Calculation: 1 BTU/s × 10,550.6 = 10,550.6 dW
Convert 10 BTU per Second to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 10,550.6 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/s × 10,550.6
- Calculation: 10 BTU/s × 10,550.6 = 105,506 dW
Convert 100 BTU per Second to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 10,550.6 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/s × 10,550.6
- Calculation: 100 BTU/s × 10,550.6 = 1.05506e+6 dW
Convert 1,000 BTU per Second to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 10,550.6 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/s × 10,550.6
- Calculation: 1,000 BTU/s × 10,550.6 = 1.05506e+7 dW
