What are Deciwatt and Btu

Definition of Deciwatt

A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a watt. The watt, named after James Watt, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit for power, quantifying the rate of energy transfer. Deciwatts are often used in contexts where precise energy measurements are necessary, yet the energy involved is relatively low. This makes deciwatts applicable in scientific research, small-scale electronics, and educational demonstrations, where slight variations in power need accurate representation. By using deciwatts, users can achieve more granular control over energy usage and measurement, enhancing precision in various applications.

Definition of Btu

The British thermal unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat, defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Predominantly used in the United States, the Btu is part of the customary units of measure for energy. It's often utilized in heating and air conditioning industries to denote the capacity of heating and cooling systems. Additionally, Btu is used in power and steam generation, as a measure of energy content in fuels and as a reference for comparing the energy output of various energy sources.
