What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie per hour, often used to rate heat output in appliances.

When should I use nanojoule/second [nJ/s] units?

Use nanojoule/second units to specify extremely small continuous power levels like those in ultra-low-power sensors, IoT devices, and photonics experiments.

Are there challenges converting between these units?

Yes, because conversion involves very large numerical factors, it may introduce rounding errors, and direct comparisons need context due to the scale difference.
