What does 1 Btu (IT)/hour represent?

It represents power equal to one International Table British thermal unit transferred per hour, often used for heat transfer rates.

Where is the kilocalorie (th)/second unit commonly used?

It is used for specifying thermal power or heat flow rates in contexts using thermochemical calories, such as boiler and heating element ratings.

Why convert from Btu (IT)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/second?

To translate heat transfer rates expressed in English units into calorie-based power measurements compatible with thermal engineering data.
