What does Btu (th)/hour represent?

Btu (th)/hour is a measure of power indicating one thermochemical British thermal unit of heat transferred per hour.

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

Conversion helps compare heat transfer rates in units used in older engineering, biomedical, and calorimetry contexts.

Can this tool handle very large power values accurately?

Precision may be affected with very large or very small values due to the small conversion rate and unit differences.
