What does horsepower measure in this conversion?

Horsepower (hp) is a non-SI unit expressing mechanical power output, commonly used for engines and motors.

What is calorie (th)/minute used for?

Calorie (th)/minute quantifies thermal energy transfer rates, useful in calorimetry, metabolic studies, and heating tests.

Why might converted calorie (th)/minute values be very large?

Because calorie (th)/minute is a small unit of power, converting from horsepower, a larger unit, yields large numbers.
