What does a kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power by representing the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed per minute.

Why convert to decijoule/second?

Decijoule per second is an SI-derived unit ideal for expressing small power levels precisely in scientific and engineering contexts.

When should I avoid using decijoule/second?

Decijoule/second is less common for higher power values, where using watts or kilowatts provides greater clarity and practicality.
