What does calorie (th)/second measure?

It measures power as the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, with one calorie (th)/second equal to 4.184 watts.

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

Converting helps translate legacy or thermal power data from units per second to per minute, useful in laboratory, physiological, or appliance energy measurements.

Is calorie (th)/second commonly used now?

No, it is an older, non-SI unit largely replaced by watts in modern engineering and scientific contexts.
