What does 1 Btu (th)/second represent in terms of heat transfer?

It represents the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, used in heating and cooling systems.

Why would I convert Btu (th)/second to calorie (th)/minute?

To translate large-scale thermal power measurements into smaller-scale units suitable for laboratory experiments, metabolic studies, or food science applications.

Is this conversion suitable for analyzing transient heat transfer?

No, this conversion reflects steady-state power rates and may not account for transient or instantaneous variations.
