What is a calorie (th)/minute unit?

It is a power unit representing one thermochemical calorie (exactly 4.184 joules) transferred per minute, commonly used in calorimetry and metabolic rate measurements.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to kilojoule/hour?

Converting to kilojoule/hour allows expressing energy transfer rates over longer hourly periods, which is useful in physiology, building physics, and energy analysis.

Can I use this conversion for dietary calories?

No, this tool assumes the thermochemical calorie definition. Dietary calorie conversions need caution as their values differ.
