What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour measures the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour, representing thermal power.

Why convert calorie (th)/hour to pound-foot/hour?

Conversion helps compare small thermal power measurements expressed in calories with mechanical output rates in imperial units, important for legacy equipment and cross-system comparisons.

Is pound-foot/hour commonly used today?

Pound-foot/hour is primarily used in historical or legacy contexts; modern applications typically prefer SI units like watts.
