What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

Btu (th)/minute measures the rate of thermal energy transfer using thermochemical British thermal units per minute, often used for heating or cooling capacity.

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

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/second facilitates comparing thermal power ratings using the metric calorie scale, useful in engineering, biomedical, and laboratory contexts.

Can I use this conversion for transient thermal effects?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state power rates and does not account for transient thermal variations.
