What does 1 megajoule per second represent?

It is a unit of power equal to one million joules per second, or one megawatt, indicating the rate of energy transfer every second.

Why use kilocalorie (th)/second for thermal power?

Kilocalorie (th)/second measures heat transfer rates specifically using the thermochemical calorie unit, commonly used in thermal and calorimetry applications.

Is this conversion suitable for small power ratings?

This conversion is designed for large-scale power values typical in megawatt ranges, so its relevance to smaller systems should be carefully evaluated.
