Unit Description
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.
Calorie per Second (cal/s)
Definition
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one calorie per second. It's used in thermodynamic applications and provides a direct relationship between thermal energy and power.
History
Calorie per second developed with early thermodynamic studies and calorimetry. It provided a way to express power in terms of thermal energy units, particularly useful in heat transfer calculations and thermal system analysis.
Current Use
Calorie per second is used in thermodynamics, heat transfer calculations, and thermal system design. It's found in calorimetry, thermal analysis, and applications where thermal energy rates are more intuitive than electrical power units.
