What does joule per second (J/s) measure?

It is an SI unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer equal to one joule every second and is exactly equivalent to one watt.

When is kilocalorie (IT)/second typically used?

This unit is used in older engineering, calorimetry literature, and biomedical studies involving heat transfer and metabolic energy rates.

Why convert joule/second to kilocalorie (IT)/second?

Conversion helps express thermal energy transfer in different terms, useful in specific engineering contexts and physiological energy analysis.
