About Converting Decawatts to Nanowatts
Decawatt and Nanowatt both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Decawatt is 10 watt units, and nanowatt is 1e-9 watt units.
Formula
nanowatts = decawatts × 10000000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 decawatt equals 10 base units, and 1 nanowatt equals 1e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct decawatt-to-nanowatt factor of 10000000000.
Simple example
1 daW × 10000000000 = 10,000,000,000 nW
1 decawatt = 10,000,000,000 nanowatts.
Real-world example
100 daW × 10000000000 = 1,000,000,000,000 nW
100 decawatts = 1,000,000,000,000 nanowatts.
Conversion table
| Decawatt (daW) | Nanowatt (nW) |
|---|---|
| 1 daW | 10,000,000,000 nW |
| 10 daW | 100,000,000,000 nW |
| 100 daW | 1,000,000,000,000 nW |
| 500 daW | 5e+12 nW |
| 1,000 daW | 1e+13 nW |
| 5,000 daW | 5e+13 nW |
Reverse conversion: Nanowatt to Decawatt
1 nW × 1e-10 = 1e-10 daW
1 nanowatt = 1e-10 decawatts.
decawatts = nanowatts × 1e-10
