What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, indicating heat flow per minute, often used for specifying heating capacity.

Why convert from Btu (th)/minute to Btu (th)/second?

Converting to Btu (th)/second provides a more precise measurement of thermal power on a per-second basis, useful for detailed thermal analysis.

Are there any limitations in this unit conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes steady-state conditions and may not capture transient thermal loads fully; rounding can also limit precision.
