Unit Description
Decawatt (daW)
Definition
A decawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to ten watts (10¹ W). It represents small power levels typically found in low-power appliances, electronic devices, and small electrical systems.
History
The decawatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing a convenient intermediate unit between watts and smaller power measurements. It became useful for describing power consumption of small electronic devices and low-power systems.
Current Use
Decawatts are used for low-power appliance ratings, electronic device specifications, and small electrical systems. They're found in specifications for small electronic devices, LED lighting, and low-power electrical equipment.
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 Decawatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 0.00947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = daW ÷ 105.506
- Calculation: 1 daW ÷ 105.506 = 0.00947817 BTU/s
Convert 10 Decawatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 0.00947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = daW ÷ 105.506
- Calculation: 10 daW ÷ 105.506 = 0.0947817 BTU/s
Convert 100 Decawatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 0.00947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = daW ÷ 105.506
- Calculation: 100 daW ÷ 105.506 = 0.947817 BTU/s
Convert 1,000 Decawatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 0.00947817 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = daW ÷ 105.506
- Calculation: 1,000 daW ÷ 105.506 = 9.47817 BTU/s
