What does 1 Btu (IT)/second represent?

It represents the power of transferring one International Table British thermal unit per second, a common rate for heat transfer or energy conversion.

Where is kilocalorie (IT)/minute commonly used?

It is frequently used in expressing human metabolic energy and in small-scale heating or cooling applications using nutritional energy units.

Can I interchange these units directly in all applications?

No, because Btu (IT)/second is more typical in industrial scenarios, while kilocalorie (IT)/minute suits biological or smaller scale contexts, so consider the application.
