What does a centiwatt measure?

A centiwatt measures power at a very low level, equal to one hundredth of a watt, used for devices like low-power sensors and tiny LEDs.

Where is kilocalorie (IT)/minute commonly used?

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute is often used to express metabolic energy expenditure in physiology and food-energy transfer rates in small heating or cooling systems.

Why convert from centiwatt to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

Converting helps express very low power energy rates in nutritional or thermal energy units useful for metabolic studies and small-scale heat transfer analysis.
