What is a terawatt (TW)?

A terawatt is an SI unit of power equal to 10^12 watts, used to describe very large energy transfer rates such as national or planetary-scale electricity flows.

What does calorie (th)/minute mean?

Calorie (th)/minute is a unit of power representing one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, commonly used in small-scale calorimetry and metabolic rate measurements.

Why convert from terawatt to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting from terawatt to calorie (th)/minute helps bridge large-scale power data with smaller heat transfer units used in physiology, calorimetry, and food science for cross-disciplinary analysis.
