What does petajoule per second measure?

It measures power as the rate at which energy is transferred, produced, or consumed at an extremely high scale, equivalent to 10^15 joules per second.

Why convert petajoule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second?

This conversion helps express very large power flows in thermal energy units commonly used in engineering and calorimetry, facilitating comparison in these fields.

Is kilocalorie (IT)/second commonly used in modern engineering?

It is less common compared to SI units today, but still relevant in older literature and specific applications such as calorimetry and metabolic energy rate analysis.
