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.
Kilocalorie (It)/second
A kilocalorie per second (kcal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and thermodynamics, has been a standard unit of energy measurement. Its use in power calculations, such as kcal/s, emerged in contexts requiring energy transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts.
Current Use
Kcal/s is primarily used in specialized fields like thermodynamics and calorimetry to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in contexts involving heat transfer and energy consumption, though it is less prevalent than SI units.
