What is a nanojoule per second (nJ/s)?

A nanojoule per second is a unit of power equal to one nanowatt, representing 10⁻⁹ joules transferred or converted per second, often used in ultra-low-power electronic and photonic measurements.

What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour quantifies power in terms of thermal energy rate, representing heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour, mostly used in calorimetry and physiological heat production.

Why convert nJ/s to cal (th)/h?

Converting from nanojoule per second to calorie (th)/hour is helpful for expressing very small power levels as thermal energy rates, facilitating analysis in calorimetric, biomedical, and thermal management applications.
