What does calorie (th)/minute represent?

It represents a power unit measuring heat or energy transfer rate equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to watts?

Converting to watts standardizes power measurements, facilitating consistent scientific, physiological, and engineering comparisons.

Can this converter be used for high-power mechanical systems?

No, calorie (th)/minute is intended for small-scale thermal energy transfer, not for high-power mechanical applications.
