Convert terajoule/second to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert terajoule/second [TJ/s] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to terajoule/second.
How to Convert Terajoule/second to Dekajoule/second
1 TJ/s = 100000000000 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 TJ/s to daJ/s:
15 TJ/s = 15 × 100000000000 daJ/s = 1500000000000 daJ/s

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.
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.
