What does calorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures power as heat or energy transfer rate equal to one thermochemical calorie per minute, commonly used in small-scale calorimetry and metabolic reporting.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to kilowatt?

Converting to kilowatt standardizes power rates for engineering, scientific analysis, and appliance rating, allowing easier comparison with electrical and mechanical power measurements.

Is kilowatt suitable for all power levels?

Kilowatt is a standard SI unit for various power levels, but when converting from calorie (th)/minute, note that values are very small, so kilowatt may be less practical for extremely low or high powers without scaling.
