What is a calorie (th)/second?

It is a unit of power representing the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, defined as exactly 4.184 watts.

Why convert calorie (th)/second to dekajoule/second?

Converting allows legacy thermal power measurements to be expressed in SI units that are standard in modern scientific and engineering contexts.

How is dekajoule/second defined?

Dekajoule per second is an SI-derived power unit equal to 10 joules per second (10 watts), commonly used for moderate power measurements.
