What does 1 watt represent in terms of energy?

One watt equals one joule of energy transferred or converted per second, measuring the rate of work done or energy used.

Why use calorie (th)/second instead of watts?

Calorie (th)/second is useful for analyzing thermal power, heat flow, or legacy thermal measurements in specific thermal engineering and calorimetry contexts.

What is the conversion formula between watt and calorie (th)/second?

1 watt equals approximately 0.2390057361 calorie (th)/second.
