What does joule per second (J/s) measure?

Joule per second (J/s) is the SI derived unit of power that quantifies the rate of energy transfer or conversion, and it is exactly equal to one watt (W).

Why use calorie (th)/minute instead of joule per second?

Calorie (th)/minute is commonly used to measure power related to heat transfer and metabolic energy rates, aligning measurements with thermochemical calorie standards.

Can I convert mechanical power directly to calorie (th)/minute?

While this conversion is possible, calorie (th)/minute is best applied to heat or metabolic rates; using it for mechanical power might reduce clarity.
