What does millijoule per second measure?

Millijoule per second measures power, representing the rate at which energy is transferred, converted, or dissipated, typically in low-power systems.

What is a kilocalorie (th)/hour?

A kilocalorie (thermochemical) per hour quantifies the rate of heat flow, commonly used to rate heat output in appliances and building thermal calculations.

Why convert from millijoule per second to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

This conversion relates low-power energy rates used in electronics and labs to legacy thermal units important in appliance specifications and HVAC system design.
