What does 1 terajoule per second represent in watts?

1 terajoule per second equals one terawatt or 10^12 watts, representing an extremely large power rate.

Why convert TJ/s to kilocalorie (IT)/second?

Converting TJ/s to kilocalorie (IT)/second helps interpret large power rates in terms of thermal energy, useful in calorimetry and biomedical fields.

Are kilocalorie (IT)/second units commonly used in modern power engineering?

Kilocalorie (IT)/second is less common for large-scale power engineering and is primarily found in older engineering and calorimetry contexts.
