What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It represents a rate of heat transfer equal to one international British thermal unit per minute, used to measure thermal power in engineering and HVAC.

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

Conversion helps translate imperial heat flow rates into metric units for designing, specifying, and comparing heating or cooling equipment.

Are there any assumptions in the conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes steady-state power transfer and may not be accurate for transient or rapidly changing thermal conditions.
