Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
