Unit Description
Centiwatt (cW)
Definition
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt (0.01 W). It represents extremely small power levels found in ultra-low-power electronics, precision sensors, and specialized instruments.
History
The centiwatt developed with the need for precise power measurements in advanced electronics and scientific instruments. It became important for describing power consumption in ultra-low-power devices and precision measurement systems.
Current Use
Centiwatts are used in ultra-low-power electronics, precision sensors, and specialized scientific instruments. They're essential for describing power consumption in advanced sensors, precision circuits, and ultra-low-power electronic systems.
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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Centiwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.00000947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = cW ÷ 105,506
- Calculation: 1 cW ÷ 105,506 = 0.00000947817 BTU/s
Convert 10 Centiwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.00000947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = cW ÷ 105,506
- Calculation: 10 cW ÷ 105,506 = 0.0000947817 BTU/s
Convert 100 Centiwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.00000947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = cW ÷ 105,506
- Calculation: 100 cW ÷ 105,506 = 0.000947817 BTU/s
Convert 1,000 Centiwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 cW = 0.00000947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = cW ÷ 105,506
- Calculation: 1,000 cW ÷ 105,506 = 0.00947817 BTU/s
