What does one kilocalorie (th)/hour represent?

It represents the rate of heat flow equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per hour, commonly used in heating and appliance specifications.

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

To express heat power ratings in extremely small power units relevant to microelectronics and photonics where sensitive power measurements are needed.

Are picojoule/second units suitable for large-scale power measurements?

No, picojoule/second units measure extremely small power levels, making them more appropriate for micro and nanoscale applications.
