What does 1 kilowatt-second represent?

It is the energy delivered by one kilowatt of power applied for one second, equivalent to one kilojoule.

Why convert kilowatt-second to kilocalorie (th)?

Converting helps express energy pulses in terms relevant to food energy, nutrition, and thermal engineering where kilocalories are commonly used.

Is kilocalorie (th) an SI unit?

No, kilocalorie (thermochemical) is not an SI unit but is widely used in food science and certain thermal or chemical engineering contexts.
