What does foot pound/minute/square foot measure?

It is a heat flux density unit indicating the rate of energy transfer per unit area using imperial energy and area units.

Why convert to calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter?

Because calorie (th)/hour/square centimeter is commonly used in calorimetric tests and older engineering contexts focusing on small-area heat flux measurements.

Can this conversion be used for transient heat flux?

No, this conversion is best suited for steady-state heat flux. Dynamic or transient heat flux requires more complex models.
