What does Btu (th)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of thermal energy flow transferring one thermochemical British thermal unit per minute, often used in heating and cooling capacity measurements.

When should I use picojoule/second units?

Use picojoule/second to express extremely small continuous power levels such as those in microelectronics and photonics measurements.

Are Btu (th)/minute and picojoule/second units interchangeable?

They measure power but differ vastly in magnitude and application, so conversions are useful for bridging between large thermal systems and ultra-low power electronics.
