What does kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer per unit area with energy expressed in International Table kilocalories transferred hourly through one square meter.

How is Btu (IT)/minute/square foot used in engineering?

It quantifies heat flux density as one British thermal unit transferred per minute over one square foot, commonly used in thermal and HVAC calculations.

Can this conversion be used for transient heat flow calculations?

This conversion assumes steady-state heat transfer and uniform area; it may not be applicable in transient or variable heat transfer conditions.
