What does 1 calorie (th)/second represent?

It represents the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, with one calorie (th)/second equal to 4.184 watts.

Why convert from calorie (th)/second to joule/hour?

This conversion helps express thermal power over longer durations, useful for analyzing low power or slow thermal processes in laboratories or engineering.

Can this tool be used for fluctuating power measurements?

No, the conversion assumes constant power transfer; time-resolved methods are needed for variable power.
