What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

Calorie (th)/minute quantifies power as the rate of thermochemical calorie energy transfer per minute, commonly used in small-scale heat and energy assessments.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to picowatt?

Converting to picowatt allows expressing power in extremely small units suited for sensitive measurements in scientific and technological research.

Are there challenges using picowatt values?

Yes, the resulting picowatt values are very large numbers which can be impractical or prone to rounding errors, so care is needed when interpreting results.
