What does 1 microjoule per second represent in watts?

One microjoule per second corresponds to 10⁻⁶ watts, representing a very small continuous power level.

When is it useful to convert microjoule per second to kilocalorie per hour?

It helps relate very small power quantities typical in microelectronics and photonics to thermal power units used in heating, cooking, or metabolic energy studies.

Which kilocalorie definition is used in this conversion?

This conversion uses the International Table kilocalorie (IT), where 1 kcal(IT)/h is approximately equal to 1.163 watts.
