Why convert terawatts to calorie (th)/second?

Converting from terawatts to calorie (th)/second allows comparison of large-scale power outputs to thermal energy units commonly used in calorimetry and legacy thermal power contexts.

A terawatt (TW) is an SI unit of power equal to one trillion watts, used for measuring very large energy transfer or generation rates such as global or astrophysical power.

Where is calorie (th)/second commonly applied?

Calorie (th)/second is typically used in laboratory calorimetry, legacy thermal power reports, and HVAC systems to represent small-scale heat flow in thermal energy units.
