Please provide values below to convert decijoule/second [dJ/s] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to decijoule/second.
How to Convert Decijoule/second to Megawatt
1 dJ/s = 1e-07 MW
Example: convert 15 dJ/s to MW:
15 dJ/s = 15 × 1e-07 MW = 1.5e-06 MW

Decijoule/second
A decijoule per second (dJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one-tenth of a joule per second, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
History/Origin
The decijoule is a decimal submultiple of the joule, introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate measurements at smaller scales. Its usage in power calculations, such as decijoules per second, has been consistent with the adoption of SI units, though it is less common in modern practice.
Current Use
Decijoule per second is rarely used in contemporary contexts; power is more commonly expressed in watts (joules per second). When used, it typically appears in specialized scientific or engineering applications requiring fine-grained energy rate measurements at the deci level.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
