What does 1 hectojoule/second represent?

It represents a power unit equal to 100 joules transferred per second, which equals 100 watts.

How is kilojoule/hour used in measurements?

Kilojoule per hour measures energy transfer over an hour, commonly used for small heating or cooling rates and metabolic energy expenditure.

Why convert from hJ/s to kJ/h?

Converting facilitates comparing and calculating power values expressed per second into equivalent hourly rates for applications like heating or metabolism.
