What is a calorie (th)/second?

It is a power unit representing the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, equivalent to 4.184 watts.

Why convert calorie (th)/second to foot pound-force/hour?

To translate thermal power measurements into mechanical power units for use in legacy imperial-system equipment or to compare with modern SI units.

Can this conversion be used for high-power applications?

Due to the small and non-SI nature of foot pound-force/hour, this conversion is best suited for small power measurements rather than high-power scenarios.
