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.
Kilojoule per Hour (kJ/h)
Definition
Kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilojoule per hour. It provides a convenient scale for moderate power measurements in energy system analysis and thermal applications.
History
Kilojoule per hour developed as a practical unit for energy system analysis and thermal calculations. It provided an appropriate scale for describing power in terms of energy per time, particularly useful in heating and cooling system analysis.
Current Use
Kilojoule per hour is used in energy system analysis, thermal calculations, and heating/cooling applications. It's found in energy efficiency calculations, thermal system design, and applications where energy rates are more intuitive than electrical power units.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Deciwatt to Kilojoule per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 dW = 0.36 kJ/h
- Conversion Formula: kJ/h = dW ÷ 2.77778
- Calculation: 1 dW ÷ 2.77778 = 0.36 kJ/h
Convert 10 Deciwatt to Kilojoule per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 dW = 0.36 kJ/h
- Conversion Formula: kJ/h = dW ÷ 2.77778
- Calculation: 10 dW ÷ 2.77778 = 3.6 kJ/h
Convert 100 Deciwatt to Kilojoule per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 dW = 0.36 kJ/h
- Conversion Formula: kJ/h = dW ÷ 2.77778
- Calculation: 100 dW ÷ 2.77778 = 36 kJ/h
Convert 1,000 Deciwatt to Kilojoule per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 dW = 0.36 kJ/h
- Conversion Formula: kJ/h = dW ÷ 2.77778
- Calculation: 1,000 dW ÷ 2.77778 = 360 kJ/h
