What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, representing one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered every minute.

When should I use attojoule/second as a unit?

Attojoule/second is used to quantify extremely small power levels, such as leakage in microelectronic sensors or nanoscale energy transfer rates.

Is this conversion suitable for typical engineering power calculations?

No, the attojoule/second unit is intended for ultra-low power levels and is not practical for most engineering power measurements without scaling.
