What does a kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, quantifying how many thermochemical kilocalories are delivered per minute.

Why convert to picowatt units?

Picowatts represent extremely small power levels useful for sensitive scientific experiments and ultra-low-power electronics.

Is this conversion suitable for all power measurements?

This conversion is most relevant when expressing large thermal energy transfer rates at an extremely fine power scale, not for typical everyday power calculations.
