What does one pound-foot per second represent?

It represents one pound-force foot of work performed per second, measuring the rate of mechanical power transfer in Imperial units.

When would I use calorie (th)/minute as a power unit?

This unit is used primarily for small-scale heat transfer, such as in laboratory calorimetry, metabolic rate reporting, or food heating tests.

How accurate is the conversion between these units?

The conversion is based on the fixed relationship where 1 pound-foot/second equals approximately 19.4428960085 calorie (th)/minute.
