What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer using the International Table calorie per second, often used for thermal power or heat-transfer rates.

Why convert calorie (IT)/second to millijoule/second?

To translate historical or calorie-based thermal power values into modern SI units, facilitating easier comparison and analysis.

Are there other calorie definitions affecting conversions?

Yes, this tool uses the International Table calorie; other definitions like the thermochemical calorie differ, so conversions may vary.
