What is metric horsepower used for?

Metric horsepower measures the rate of energy transfer or mechanical power, commonly used to rate engines in cars, motorcycles, and industrial motors.

Why convert horsepower to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting horsepower to calorie (th)/minute allows expressing mechanical power in heat/energy transfer terms, useful in calorimetry, metabolism research, and food science.

Is calorie (th)/minute suitable for all power conversion?

Calorie (th)/minute is best for low-rate energy processes; using it for large powers can result in impractically large numbers.
