What does one calorie (IT)/second represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie per second, quantifying thermal power or heat-transfer rates.

Why convert calorie (IT)/second to centijoule/second?

To translate historical thermal power values into smaller, precise SI-based subunits suitable for scientific and technical measurements.

Where is centijoule/second typically used?

It is used to express very small steady power levels, such as the power draw of low-power sensors and micro-energy harvesters.
