What does one kilocalorie (th)/second represent in power terms?

One kilocalorie (th)/second measures thermal power equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie transferred per second, exactly 4184 watts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/second to hectowatts?

The conversion enables comparison between thermal power rates and electrical power, useful in applications involving both energy forms.

Is the hectowatt commonly used worldwide?

Hectowatt is not a widely preferred unit in some regions; watts or kilowatts are more standard, so further conversions might be necessary.
