What does calorie (th)/second measure?

It measures power equivalent to transferring one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, defined precisely as 4.184 watts.

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

Converting helps express thermal power in a smaller, more precise SI unit suitable for low-power systems and detailed energy analysis.

Is millijoule/second suitable for high power values?

Millijoule/second is ideal for low-power measurements, but large-scale power may require further unit scaling.
