What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour quantifies the rate of thermal power transfer, representing heat energy delivered per hour based on the thermochemical calorie.

How is pound-foot/minute defined?

Pound-foot per minute is an imperial unit of mechanical power showing the work rate when a pound-force moves one foot in one minute.

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

This conversion helps relate thermal power data to mechanical power measurements, especially useful when linking heat and mechanical work in engineering contexts.
