What does a kilocalorie (th)/second measure?

It measures thermal power based on the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie per second.

How is the dekajoule/second unit related to watts?

One dekajoule/second equals 10 joules per second, which corresponds to 10 watts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/second to dekajoule/second?

Converting helps translate calorie-based thermal power values into SI units, facilitating comparison and integration in scientific and engineering contexts.
