How is kilojoule per minute defined?

Kilojoule per minute measures energy transfer rate, defined as one kilojoule delivered or consumed each minute.

When should I use kilojoule per minute instead of watts?

Use kilojoule per minute when measuring energy transfer or power over time intervals in minutes, such as in physiology or calorimetry.
