What does 1 calorie (th)/second represent?

It represents the power of transferring one thermochemical calorie of energy each second, equivalent to exactly 4.184 watts.

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

This conversion helps to express thermal power rates in mechanical imperial units commonly used in older engineering and legacy equipment specifications.

Is pound-foot/hour suitable for high power measurements?

No, pound-foot/hour is a very small unit and typically not used for large-scale power applications.
