Convert deciwatt to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to deciwatt.
How to Convert Deciwatt to Terajoule/second
1 dW = 1e-13 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 dW to TJ/s:
15 dW = 15 × 1e-13 TJ/s = 1.5e-12 TJ/s

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.
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.
