Convert calorie (IT)/second to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 41868 dW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to deciwatt, multiply the value by 41868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 2.38845896627e-05 cal/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal/s = 41868 dW
- 1 dW = 2.38845896627e-05 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 418680 dW
- 100 cal/s = 4186800 dW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Deciwatt
1 cal/s = 41868 dW
Example: convert 15 cal/s to dW:
15 cal/s = 15 × 41868 dW = 628020 dW

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
