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.
Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)
Definition
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilocalorie per hour. It's commonly used in heating and cooling applications, providing a practical scale for thermal power measurements.
History
Kilocalorie per hour became important in heating and cooling system design, providing a convenient scale for thermal power measurements. It was particularly useful in applications where thermal energy rates needed to be expressed in familiar calorie-based units.
Current Use
Kilocalorie per hour is used in heating and cooling systems, thermal equipment ratings, and energy efficiency calculations. It's standard for thermal system specifications, heating equipment ratings, and applications where thermal power is measured in calorie-based units.
