What does one Btu (th)/second represent in terms of heat transfer?

It represents the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered every second, commonly used in heat flow measurements.

In which fields is the calorie (IT)/minute unit commonly used?

It is used in laboratory calorimetry, small-scale thermal engineering, and physiology for expressing small continuous heat transfer rates.

Why should numerical precision be carefully handled when converting between these units?

Because the units differ significantly in scale, improper handling can lead to inaccurate conversion results.
