What does picojoule/second measure?

Picojoule/second measures very small continuous power levels, typically used in microelectronics and photonics to describe ultra-low power consumption or optical power.

When should I use kilocalorie (th)/second as a unit?

Kilocalorie (th)/second is used to measure thermal power or heat transfer rates, especially in contexts that use the thermochemical calorie, such as calorimetry, thermal testing, and heating equipment ratings.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because one picojoule/second equals a very tiny fraction of a kilocalorie (th)/second, conversions yield very small numbers that reflect this large scale difference.
