Why is the value smaller when converting from calorie (th)/minute to calorie (th)/second?

Because calorie (th)/second measures energy transfer per second, it is 60 times larger than calorie (th)/minute, resulting in smaller decimal values after conversion.

Can this converter be used for engineering power calculations?

Yes, especially for converting legacy thermal power measurements into units compatible with SI standards like watts.

What fields commonly use these units of power?

Fields such as biochemical research, physiology, food science, thermal engineering, HVAC design, and calorimetry laboratories often use these units.
