What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat flow equivalent to one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per hour.

How is dekajoule/second [daJ/s] defined?

Dekajoule per second is an SI-derived unit of power, equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to dekajoule/second?

To translate legacy thermal power ratings into SI units for easier comparison and standardization in engineering and scientific work.
