What does one milliwatt represent?

One milliwatt (mW) equals one thousandth of a watt, measuring power as the rate of energy transfer at one joule per second.

Why convert milliwatts to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

This conversion helps translate low electrical power measurements into thermal power units to assess heat output in thermal systems.

Is kilocalorie (th)/hour a modern unit?

No, kilocalorie (th)/hour is a legacy unit of power less commonly used in modern SI-based systems.
