What does 1 dekajoule per second represent?

It is an SI-derived power unit equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts, often used to quantify energy transfer rates.

Why use calorie (th)/minute instead of watts?

Calorie (th)/minute focuses on heat-energy transfer rates in thermal and metabolic situations, making it helpful for calorimetry and physiological energy studies.

Can this tool handle very large power conversions?

While it can convert any value, very large powers converted to calorie (th)/minute may result in unwieldy large numbers not practical for some uses.
