What does centijoule per second measure?

Centijoule per second (cJ/s) measures power as a rate of energy transfer, equal to one hundredth of a joule transferred each second, often used for very small power levels.

Why convert centijoule per second to calorie (th) per hour?

Converting to calorie (th)/hour allows expressing power in thermal terms, useful in calorimetry, metabolic studies, and heat transfer rate contexts where thermal power units are preferred.

Is calorie (th)/hour an SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/hour is a non-SI thermal unit. The watt is the preferred SI unit for power measurements.
