What does calorie (IT)/minute measure?

Calorie (IT)/minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer, specifically the transfer of one international‑table calorie per minute.

Why convert calorie (IT)/minute to kilojoule/minute?

Converting to kilojoule/minute expresses power in a standard SI unit, improving consistency in scientific and engineering contexts.

Can this conversion be used for variable power rates?

This conversion is best applied to steady-state, uniform time intervals and may not suit highly variable power measurements.

Key Terminology

Calorie (IT)/minute [cal/min]: A power unit measuring the rate of energy transfer as one international‑table calorie per minute.
Kilojoule/minute [kJ/min]: A power unit measuring the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilojoule per minute.
Power: The rate at which energy is transferred or converted per unit time.
Steady-state power: Power that remains constant over uniform time intervals.

Quick Knowledge Check

What does 1 calorie (IT)/minute represent?

A rate of energy transfer equal to one international‑table calorie per second

A rate of energy transfer equal to one international‑table calorie per minute
