What does 1 calorie (th)/second represent?

It is the power equal to transferring one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, defined as exactly 4.184 joules per second or watts.

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

The conversion standardizes older thermal power units to modern SI units, helping integrate legacy data with large-scale industrial power measurements.

Is megajoule/second the same as megawatt?

Yes, 1 megajoule per second equals 1 megawatt, both representing one million joules or watts of power.
