What does nanojoule per second (nJ/s) measure?

Nanojoule per second (nJ/s) quantifies power at very low levels, equivalent to one nanowatt, often used to express tiny continuous energy transfers per second.

Where is calorie (IT)/second (cal/s) commonly used?

Calorie (IT)/second is used mainly in thermal power and heat-transfer contexts, especially in laboratory calorimetry and older technical literature referring to the International Table calorie.

Why convert from nJ/s to cal/s?

Conversion is needed to translate ultra-low power measurements into heat energy rates for thermal analysis, especially when working with historical or specialized calorie-based units.
