What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed per minute, often used for nutritional or thermal energy rates.

When should I use foot pound-force/second?

This unit is used to express mechanical power in imperial units, particularly in small mechanical outputs and engineering calculations involving torque and rotational speed.

Why convert between these units?

Converting helps translate energy transfer rates from nutritional or thermal contexts to mechanical units, enabling comparison and application across different disciplines.
