What does one calorie (th)/minute represent in joules?

One calorie (thermochemical) per minute equals exactly 4.184 joules delivered per minute.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to femtowatt?

Converting to femtowatt allows expressing moderate thermal power rates as extremely small power units suitable for nanoscale and sensitive measurement applications.

Is femtowatt suitable for measuring typical heat fluxes?

No, femtowatt is used for ultra-low power levels and is not practical for typical heat fluxes measured in calories per minute.
