Why is the conversion rate 0.06 for cal(th)/s to kcal(th)/min?

Because 1 calorie (thermochemical) per second equals 0.06 kilocalorie (thermochemical) per minute based on the defined energy transfer rates per unit time.

Where is this conversion commonly applied?

It is used in physiology for metabolic power, laboratory calorimetry, HVAC design, and thermal engineering involving burners or heating elements.

Are there any accuracy concerns using this converter?

Accuracy depends on adhering to the exact thermochemical calorie definition and assuming steady-state power flow without dynamic fluctuations.
