Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (watt (W)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 cal/s = 4.1868 watt (W)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 dW = 0.1 watt (W)
Step-by-step substitution for Calorie (IT)/second → Deciwatt:V(dW) = V(cal/s) × ( 4.1868 / 0.1 ) = V(cal/s) × 41.868
Mathematical FormulaValue in Deciwatt = Value in Calorie (IT)/second × 41.868Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 75 cal/s, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 3140.1 dW. At larger operational scale, 2500 Calorie (IT)/second corresponds to 104670 dW.

Inverse check: 1 dW = 0.0238846 cal/s.
