What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/minute represent?

It represents a unit of power measuring the rate of thermal energy transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute.

Why use picojoule/second as a power unit?

Picojoule/second is useful for quantifying extremely small continuous power levels common in microelectronics, nanotechnology, and photonics.

Can this tool be used for electronic power conversions?

Yes, especially when translating thermal power values into power levels relevant for low-energy digital circuits and sensitive photonic devices.
