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

To express heat transfer rates in calorie-based units commonly used in some engineering and HVAC applications.

Can this conversion be used for transient heat transfer calculations?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state thermal power and may not apply directly to transient scenarios.
