What does 1 centijoule/second represent?

It represents a power level equal to one hundredth of a joule per second, or 0.01 watt, commonly used for very low steady power measurements.

Why use calorie (IT)/second as a unit?

Calorie (IT)/second quantifies thermal power or heat flow rates using the International Table calorie, useful in specific thermal and historical contexts.

Can this conversion be used for all calorie definitions?

No, it applies specifically to the International Table calorie; other calorie versions may yield different results.
