What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

Calorie (IT)/second quantifies thermal power as the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie each second.

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

Converting to megajoule/second standardizes thermal power measurements for modern engineering and scientific use.

Is the calorie (IT) unit still commonly used?

No, the International Table calorie is largely historical and replaced by SI units like joules in contemporary practice.
