What does 1 Btu (IT)/hour represent?

It represents one British thermal unit (International Table) delivered or removed per hour, commonly used to express heat transfer rates.

Why convert Btu (IT)/hour to joule/minute?

Converting to joule/minute helps express energy transfer rates at a finer time scale, which is useful in scientific experiments and precise power measurements.

Can this conversion handle transient power output fluctuations?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state power and does not account for varying or transient power outputs.
