What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of thermal energy transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered each minute.

When is nanowatt used as a unit?

Nanowatt is used to measure extremely low power levels, such as in ultra-low-power electronics, photonics, and tiny energy-harvesting devices.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to nanowatt?

To relate thermal energy transfer rates from biology or calorimetry to power levels relevant in precision electronic and photonic measurements.
