What does 1 calorie (IT)/second represent in power?

It represents the rate of energy transfer where one International Table calorie is delivered or removed every second, quantifying thermal power or heat transfer.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/second to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/minute helps align energy transfer rates with nutritional energy scales and facilitates comparison in metabolism and heat transfer studies.

Is the kilocalorie (IT)/minute unit common in modern engineering?

No, kilocalorie (IT)/minute is less common compared to watts, so additional conversions might be needed for universal engineering applications.
