What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer, representing one kilocalorie delivered or consumed per minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to deciwatt?

Converting to deciwatt provides a standardized electrical power unit useful for scientific and engineering comparisons.

Is deciwatt a commonly used unit?

Deciwatt is less common than watt or milliwatt but is useful for expressing small power levels without using milliwatt notation.
