What does one foot pound-force/second represent?

It represents an imperial unit of power equal to one pound-force applied through a one-foot displacement every second, used to express mechanical power.

How is calorie (th)/second defined?

A calorie (thermochemical) per second is a thermal power unit equal to the transfer of one thermochemical calorie per second, where one thermochemical calorie is 4.184 joules.

When should I convert foot pound-force/second to calorie (th)/second?

Conversions are useful when correlating mechanical power and thermal power, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and HVAC system analyses.
