What does one centiwatt represent?

One centiwatt equals one hundredth of a watt and is used to quantify very low electrical power.

In what contexts is calorie (IT)/minute commonly used?

This unit is used for measuring heat or energy transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry, thermal engineering, and physiology.

Can I convert any power value from centiwatt to calorie (IT)/minute?

Yes, but it’s most relevant for very low power levels typical in sensor technologies and small-scale thermal processes.
