Convert kilocalorie (th)/second to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (th)/second [kcal(th)/s] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to kilocalorie (th)/second.
1 kcal(th)/s = 41840 dW. To convert kilocalorie (th)/second to deciwatt, multiply the value by 41840; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 2.39005736138e-05 kcal(th)/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 kcal(th)/s = 41840 dW
- 1 dW = 2.39005736138e-05 kcal(th)/s
- 10 kcal(th)/s = 418400 dW
- 100 kcal(th)/s = 4184000 dW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (Th)/second to Deciwatt
1 kcal(th)/s = 41840 dW
Example: convert 15 kcal(th)/s to dW:
15 kcal(th)/s = 15 × 41840 dW = 627600 dW

Kilocalorie (Th)/second
A kilocalorie (th)/second (kcal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per second is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (th) is a traditional unit of energy used primarily in nutrition and thermodynamics, with 'th' indicating the thermochemical definition. Its use in power measurements, such as kcal(th)/s, is less common and primarily for specialized scientific contexts.
Current Use
The unit kcal(th)/s is rarely used in modern practice; power is more commonly expressed in watts. When used, it typically appears in scientific research involving energy transfer rates in thermochemical processes or specialized engineering applications.
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.
