What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, often used in physiology and calorimetry to quantify energy flow per minute.

When should I use terajoule/second as a unit?

Terajoule/second is used for extremely large power flows such as the combined output of large electricity grids or multiple power plants.

Why are converted values from kilocalorie (th)/minute to terajoule/second so small?

Because kilocalorie (th)/minute represents much smaller power, converting to terajoule/second, which measures vast power scales, results in very small decimal numbers.
