What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer, specifically one thermochemical kilocalorie of energy transferred per hour.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to picowatt?

Converting to picowatt expresses power at an extremely small scale, useful for precise measurements in scientific experiments and ultra-low-power electronics.

Is this conversion suitable for everyday heating calculations?

While possible, the picowatt scale is often too fine for typical heating or appliance power calculations and is most useful in specialized fields.
