What does dekajoule per second measure?

Dekajoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer, equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts.

Why convert to kilocalorie (th)/second?

Converting to kilocalorie (th)/second is important for applications using thermochemical calorie units, such as in thermal engineering and heat transfer rate measurements.

Can this conversion be used for all calorie types?

No, it specifically applies to the thermochemical calorie and might not be accurate for other calorie definitions.
