What does nanojoule per second represent?

It is a unit of power representing 10⁻⁹ joules transferred or converted every second, commonly used for very small power levels.

When is kilocalorie (IT) per hour used?

It’s often used to specify power rates in heating, cooking appliance ratings, and metabolic heat production.

Can I use this converter for large power values?

This converter is intended for very small power values; large values may require different units or approaches.
