What are Dekawatt and Kilocalorie

Definition of Dekawatt

A Dekawatt (dW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to ten watts. It is used to measure the rate at which energy is produced or consumed. This unit provides an intermediate scale between watts and kilowatts, making it useful in contexts where power levels are significant but not exceedingly large. The Dekawatt is especially relevant in electrical applications and energy management systems, where precise power measurements are crucial. Understanding and using Dekawatts allows for more accurate monitoring and optimization of energy consumption.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A Kilocalorie, often referred to as a dietary calorie and abbreviated as kcal, is a unit of energy that is commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food. One kilocalorie equals 1,000 calories, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. In the context of scientific measurements, it is also known as the International Table (IT) calorie. Kilocalories are essential in calculating the energy expenditure of organisms and are vital for dietary planning and understanding metabolic processes.

0.9 dW 773.865 kcal/h
1 dW 859.85 kcal/h

Conversion of Dekawatt to Kilocalorie

1 dW = 859.85 kcal/h
1 kcal/h = 0.001164 dW

Example 1:
convert 5 dW to kcal/h:
5 dW = 5 × 859.85 kcal/h = 4299.25 kcal/h

Example 2:
convert 3.5 dW to kcal/h:
3.5 dW = 3.5 × 859.85 kcal/h = 3009.475 kcal/h
