What does one Btu (IT)/second represent?

It represents one International Table British thermal unit of energy transferred every second, which is a rate of heat transfer or energy conversion.

When should I use kilocalorie (th)/minute as a unit?

This unit is typically used to express energy transfer rates in physiology, food-energy calculations, and small-scale heating devices.

Is this conversion tool suitable for precise engineering calculations?

While helpful, caution is advised as approximations and rounding in the units may affect accuracy in precise engineering scenarios.
