What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer using the thermochemical calorie delivered each minute, commonly used in calorimetry and metabolic studies.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT)/second?

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/second aligns with units used in thermal engineering and biomedical analysis, enabling clearer comparison of heat transfer rates.

Are calorie (th) and kilocalorie (IT) the same?

No, they are based on different calorie definitions—the thermochemical calorie versus the International Table calorie—and have distinct energy values.
