What does Btu (IT)/second/square foot measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area, representing thermal power flow across one square foot.

Why convert heat flux units to calorie (th)/minute/square centimeter?

Because calorie-based units are commonly used in laboratory calorimetry and historical physiological studies focusing on smaller scales.

Are these conversions suitable for all scientific work?

They are useful for many applications but may need further conversion to SI units for certain scientific or regulatory uses.
