Convert dekawatt to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert dekawatt [daW] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to dekawatt.
1 daW = 1.0000e-11 TJ/s. To convert dekawatt to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.0000e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 100000000000 daW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daW = 1.0000e-11 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 100000000000 daW
- 10 daW = 1.0000e-10 TJ/s
- 100 daW = 1e-09 TJ/s
How to Convert Dekawatt to Terajoule/second
1 daW = 1e-11 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 daW to TJ/s:
15 daW = 15 × 1e-11 TJ/s = 1.5e-10 TJ/s

Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 dekawatt in terajoule/second?
1 dekawatt (daW) = 1.0000e-11 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert dekawatt to terajoule/second?
Multiply the dekawatt value by 1.0000e-11. For example, 25 daW × 1.0000e-11 = 2.5000e-10 TJ/s.
What is 10 dekawatt in terajoule/second?
10 daW = 1.0000e-10 TJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the dekawatt or the terajoule/second?
The terajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 daW equals only 1.0000e-11 TJ/s.
