What does one hectowatt represent?

A hectowatt is a unit of power equal to 100 watts, representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

Why convert power from hectowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

Converting helps relate electrical or mechanical power to energy rates expressed in nutritional or thermal terms, useful in physiology and food processing.

Is kilocalorie (IT)/minute widely used internationally?

No, it is mainly used in niche applications related to human energy expenditure and food-energy contexts rather than general scientific usage.
