What does one calorie (IT) per minute represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer of one international-table calorie over one minute, indicating small continuous heat transfer rates.

What is a hectojoule per second used to measure?

A hectojoule per second measures power as 100 joules transferred per second, commonly used for electrical, heating, and motor power ratings.

Why convert from cal/min to hJ/s?

This conversion allows expressing small heat transfer rates in power units linked to watts, facilitating comparisons in engineering and laboratory settings.
