Convert nanowatt to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to nanowatt.
How to Convert Nanowatt to Dekajoule/second
1 nW = 1e-10 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 nW to daJ/s:
15 nW = 15 × 1e-10 daJ/s = 1.5e-09 daJ/s

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
