What does 1 Btu (IT)/second represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer equal to one International Table British thermal unit per second, commonly used to quantify power in heating and energy systems.

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

This conversion helps express heat flow rates in legacy or region-specific units for appliance specifications and thermal calculations.

Can this conversion be applied to transient heat flow conditions?

No, the conversion assumes steady heat transfer and may not account for transient thermal states which can affect accuracy.
